Inspired by Psychopathia Sexualis, Richard Krafft-Ebings controversial study of sexual perversity, White Stains purports to be "the literary remains of George Archibald Bishop, a neuropath of the Second Empire." Aleister Crowleys book of provocative verse was clandestinely published in 1898 and of the hundred copies that were originally printed, only a handful were spared destruction by Her Majestys Customs. This new edition of White Stains from Occult Classics features a newly formatted text optimized for reading, free of the many typos common to many editions of this classic, once banned work.
