Kenneth Grant (b. 1924) is the largest British occultist, a student of Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare. Founder of the New Isis Lodge and the Typhonian Order of the Eastern Templars, magical societies working with the dark side of the cabalistic Tree of Life. The author of nine books, united in the “Typhonian trilogies” cycles, “Against the Light” is a book for brave readers who are ready to wander through dark labyrinths and look at amazing pictures in a surreal kaleidoscope. This novel breathes the gloomy luxury of a swamp kingdom, where hard soil is replaced by a pliable quagmire. The gates that Kenneth Grant found are open to everyone who dares to plunge into the stunning twists and turns of a non-linear narrative.
