Sam, I can't recommend it enough, not only do you have much Twiggy goodness, but you also have his recollections on two meetings with Church of Satan founder Anton Le Vay which is interesting to say the least.

I have it, and it's called "The Long Hard Road Out of Hell" -like the song he did for the Spawn Soundtrack. And I agree with Kobolos, the "his grandpa would cross dress and had dildos" is not as good as the rest of the book...

Today's word of the day is: autofellatio! It means orally pleasuring your own genitalia, in a much less startling way. TEH MOER U NO

Here you are Sam, a delightful review...
This man knows his Hell, April 25, 2004 Reviewer: A reader from NC
You wouldn't think a middle aged Southern conservative housewife like me would be caught dead reading something like this. The cover alone should scare me away. And the first word of the first chapter is one I wasn't allowed to say as a child. But with that first word Manson reveals immediately what his entire book portrays - Hell. The story mates his life with Dante's Inferno; even the chapters are structured as the divisions and circles of Dante's hell. This was a stroke of genius and makes for a fascinating read. Manson's life parallels Dante's journey through hell, and, like in the Inferno, it begins with pain and steadily becomes much worse. In the Inferno however, the protagonist with whom we identify is Dante, who is not one of the punished. We must guess at the psychic torment of the damned through Dante's conversations with them. Manson takes us on the same journey but as one of the condemned. He takes us inside his head to see firsthand the progressive blackening and relentless decay of his soul.
But that is only one of the many levels on which this book operates. It is also the story of a man's struggle to come to terms with his own nature when that nature is something the world perceives as evil and he suspects they may be right. He has amazing self awareness, and the rare ability to articulate his inner battles in powerful, captivating ways. The book is riveting, for he is laying bare his soul for all to see, and he knows it is ugly.
But by the end of the book, after he has sunk to the dark bottom of the pit, there is a glimmer of hope. He gains the sense that there may be some beauty hidden under all the self-loathing and screw ups that are his existence. Like Dante, Manson finally confronts Satan himself, and discovers the exit from hell.
But if you are not up to all this psychological and metaphysical stuff, you can just enjoy the book on its surface. Wicked, outrageous, and at times hilarious, it is fast paced and full of action, but not for the prudish or squeamish. Be prepared for something that is probably worse than triple X and is quite disturbing. I have never heard Marilyn Manson's music and I'm not real sure I want to, as "heavy metal" just isn't my thing, but I stumbled upon this book quite by accident and must say it is one of the most entertaining reads I've ever had. I highly recommend it for anyone who has an interest in infernal literature, typically written by the righteous, as this is an equally compelling point of view from the debased sinner. The violence and shock rivals John Bunyan, but from the opposite side!
Couldn't have said it better myself.

my older brother wanted this book around this time, 2004. my granny gave me $20 and I wanted to use it to buy this book for my brother. but at Barnes and Noble I asked my mother to take me to the “magicians” section. I couldn’t pronounce the word “musicians.” so I didn’t find Marilyn Manson’s memoir.
The end
