More about the book
The character of Oliver Haddo is a fictional creation inspired by Aleister Crowley, portrayed as more striking, sinister, and ruthless than the real-life figure. The novel imbues Haddo with magical powers that Crowley claimed but did not actually possess. Crowley recognized himself in this character, leading him to write a review of the novel in Vanity Fair under the pseudonym "Oliver Haddo." The author reflects on the review, expressing regret for not reading it, suggesting it was likely a verbose critique.
