Editorial Reviews
Review
“By turns moving, funny, appalling, and disturbing…There has never been anything like it.”– “Rolling Stone””Unimaginably perverse and demented.”– “Newsweek””Fascinating, sleazy account of his coming of age and ascent into damnation.”– “Us””Makes Madonna’s infamous “Sex” seem downright wholesome by comparison.”– “Elle””If the Marquis De Sade had a son in a hard-rock band who wrote a book, this would be the book.”– “Christian Science Monitor””Repulsive…well-written and uncommonly addictive.”– “Chicago Sun-Times””Nothing short of captivating in all its intentional, over-the-top bad taste.”– “Edge””Amusing…lots of sex, bondage, drugs, intrigue, and mental decay.”– “Village Voice””Clipped, colorful prose that fits the author’s larger-than-life personality like a pair of rubber shorts.”– “Paper”

About the Author
Marilyn Manson has more than 450 scars, not counting emotional ones.
Neil Strauss is a ten-time New York Times best-selling author. His books, The Gameand Rules Of The Game, for which he went undercover in a secret society of pickup artists for two years, made him an international celebrity and an accidental hero to men around the world. Both books topped The New York Times best-seller list and were #1 on Amazon, and the former has the dubious distinction of being the most stolen book at Barnes & Noble besides The Bible.
His other best-selling books include Emergency,How to Make Love Like a Porn Star with Jenna Jameson, The Dirt with Motley Crue, and The Long Hard Road Out of Hell with Marilyn Manson.
Strauss has also contributed to Esquire, Maxim, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, Details, The Source, New York Newsday, and many other magazines and newspapers. Beyond journalism, Strauss has acted in everything from Curb Your Enthusiasm to rock videos by Beck and 30 Seconds to Mars. He has written liner notes for albums by Nirvana; performed on albums by Marilyn Manson; and DJ’ed at clubs around the world. He also hosted his own interview show, The Inner Circle with Neil Strauss, on SiriusXM. And has written television shows for HBO, FX, and Cartoon Network.
