Find out in this explosive expose as told by one of the founders and, an actual authority on Satanism - Shane Bugbee. Bugbee was a longtime friend and mentor to Lucien Greaves / Doug Mesner as well as the last person Anton LaVey chose to represent modern Satanism, a philosophy LaVey created in 1969 - THE YEAR FLESH BECAME LAW. The idea for the Satanic Temple dates back two decades when the two met over the book Might is Right. Why would Bugbee's young protege of over a decade, Doug Mesner, aka: Lucien Greaves hide the role his mentor and muse played in creating the Satanic Temple?

Gilmore as well as rare correspondence between Anton LaVey & Bugbee.
