Greetings DeathStalker,

I read this years ago. It was good as it gave a good method for contacting Azrael. Azrael is totally awesome.

It was bad in that it suggest breaking into a tomb pouring milk down a corpse throat and if my memory is correct stabbing it with a knife? Again it was like 10 years ago when I read this but I have a pretty good memory.

I am into Necromancy.

I am not into tomb robbing. It is disrespectful to the dead. Communing with the dead is cool. Mutilating corpses is not cool.

I dont know how Wendell Leliah went off the deep end with that. He must be a pretty weird dude.

However the method for contacting Azrael works. So it is worth the read.

Peace!

Actually, the name is Leliah Wendell, and it's a she, not a he. She also believes herself to be Death's soulmate. I'm not going to even BEGIN to go into that.

I have that book, I've never tried anything from it as it's really not my style. I got it more to round out my library and collection more than anything else. She also published another one, Our Name Is Melancholy: The Complete Books of Azrael. It's a decent read, fairly entertaining, but still. She doesn't strike me as someone who's entirely there. As for the book itself, I'm not sure if it's still in print--I found my copy ten or fifteen years ago.

Well she's not the first one to make such claims, I've heard many like that, esp. about Azrael.

It's called schizophrenia, they usually believe to be something important due to their psychological inner desires, and they form illusions of the mind.

Regardless, she may have some good insight on what she writes, due to her schizophrenic obsessions.

Thanks for the review guys.

[Greetings Deathstalker,

It’s kind of basic. I would not call it Necromancy as communing with Azrael does not really equate to speaking with the dead. It was easy for me to contact him via the method given.

Greetings Dark Mage,

That’s a woman??? Wow I had no idea. Somehow it’s even spookier to imagine a female breaking into a tomb and mutilating a corpse. Anything to do with a dead body is pretty sick in my book. I would hate to cross paths with her in a dark alley! What is her other book about? Does she suggest anything of a Texas Chain Saw Massacre caliber?

Peace!

Yepperz! Odd, huh? As for her other works, no, nothing of the slasher film about her. More like "let's dress up as corpses and light a ton of candles whilst listening to old Black Sabbath and pretending we're dead" kind of stuff. Pretty mild, actually. It falls, really, under the heading of 'occult fiction.' She relates her tales as the Bride of Death, and also acts as a mouthpiece for Death himself and basically why he can never feel joy. *shrug* It's not bad, really, but it goes from the sublime to the silly in half a page or less in more than a few spots. Pick it up, if you can find it on the used rack. But I wouldn't pay full price for it.
