Codex Aristarchus

by A.A. Morain

From the blood-stained moors of West Yorkshire, England, comes a genuinely amoral vampiric praxis melding the black arts of predatory astral vampirism with the harsh ordeal-based approach of the Sinister Seven-Fold Way. In Codex Aristarchus, A.A. Morain presents the definitive collective works of the Drakon Covenant, including vampiric theory, rites and methods by which the reader themselves can step upon the black path of the Wamphyri – feeding upon the human herd and taking the treacherous road to confrontation with the bleak Ascended Masters, the Undead.

This book is definitely entertaining. If you are looking for a book about a "path/religion" that sounds like it was first dreamed up by an edgy 8th grader then you are in luck! As you can imagine, being vampyr related, everything has to be dark...or sinister. You can eat a muffin but only if it's stained with the blood of your enemies.

The author tries to force an educated sound into his sentences but ends up just coming across as an edgy Deepak Chopra...for example: "The Vampyr must feed, in order to harvest more Acausal Blood Essence and ascend the Chain of Being to the pinnacle of black perfection." I laughed for a good 5 minutes at that one. Also, "The body is the vessel of the Will, created to presence this Will upon the realm of phenomena, the arena of evolution." I actually understand what this one is supposed to mean but it's as if he asked himself, "whats the most convoluted and pretentious way i can say this?"

As you might imagine there are a good amount of non-sequiturs, circular arguments, logical fallacies and paradoxes throughout the book. One such example is on page 55 talking about insight roles. Insight roles are a sinister necessity therefore they must be undertaken by all initiates of the Seven Fold Way. So you are expected to undertake insight roles which will help to change you and give you better "insight". However, in paragraph 3 it says "if you are living according to the expectations of others, you are not worthy of the fruits of the sinister path." So, to follow the sinister path you are expected to undertake insight roles but since that is expected, you aren't worthy of the sinister path..thus a paradox. That's just one example of several.

I give the book 4 stars for entertainment but only 2 for content thus the 3 star rating. I'm starting to get tired now. It's either because it's 1 am or a vampyr is feeding off me. Please dont feed on me and make me meet the dark gods

This book is written by a convicted pedophile rapist. And if that wasn't bad enough, he's also a neo-nazi. You can read something else that's just as edgy and and yet is not supporting such a person. Anyone reading this voluntarily after knowing this should be ashamed of themselves.

This book teaches you why prison is actually a good place for the vampiric metamorphosis.
