Description
Correspondence by Anton LaVey, the founder and former High Priest of the Church of Satan.
Background
Anton Szandor LaVey, born Howard Stanton Levey, (April 11, 1930 – October 29, 1997) was an American author, musician, and
Satanist. He was the founder of the religion of Satanism and the Church of Satan. LaVey made several claims about his early
life, such as leaving school early to work with a circus and working as a photographer and consultant to the San Francisco
Police Department, which have never been able to be independently verified or confirmed. However, while in San Francisco,
LaVey did garner local attention and a varied group of friends through his paranormal research and live performances as an
organist.
