There was nothing in this world that he didn’t try, and that really pissed some people off. In this second installment we learn about his various exploits, failed occult communes, and what sort of things he wrote when he finally burned through all his inheritance and needed money! We also tackle his *deeply problematic* ideas and counter cultural philosophies. Self Promotion: Emily will be having a B-Grade sale on Valentines Day! Sign up for her newsletter for more info!
