Honorable Mention

“Science vet Vie Junior,” March 2012

“The Daily Mail,” November 10, 2011.

When a silly conspiracy theory in 2012 claimed that Aleister Crowley was the evil mastermind behind the deaths that followed the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, journalists from around the world asked Crowley’s premiere biographer, Richard Kaczynski, to weigh in. Above are two examples of the press coverage which quoted Kaczynski: England’s Daily Mail and the French science magazine for school children (!), Science et Vie Junior.

The “Times Literary Supplement” for November 11, 2012, proclaimed Richard Kaczynski’s Perdurabo to be “the major biography to date” of Aleister Crowley. High praise indeed from Phil Baker, himself the author of superb biographies of Austin Osman Spare and Dennis Wheatley.

Richard Kaczynski’s 1997 paper for the American Psychological Association, “The Satanic ritual abuse controversy: A case of groupthink?”, was cited in the textbook “Psychology” by Carole Wade and Carol Tavris (2000).
