"J.-K. Huysmans et le satanisme" by Joanny Bricaud is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This book explores the connections between the influential French author J.-K. Huysmans and the theme of satanism, particularly through his seminal work "Là-Bas" which delves into occult practices and sacrilegious rituals. The book draws upon unpublished documents, aiming to provide a deeper insight into Huysmans' fascination with satanism and the mystical experiences that shaped his literary contributions. The narrative outlines Huysmans’ obsessive quest for documenting the rituals associated with satanism, revealing his encounters with key figures such as the notorious Abbé Boullan and various occultists engaged in such practices. Bricaud vividly details Huysmans' explorations into black masses, possessions, and the modern manifestations of satanic worship, suggesting that these dark rituals were still prevalent in his time. The book further highlights a contentious debate regarding the authenticity of these practices and involves Huysmans' dramatic confrontations with contemporary occultists, providing a fascinating glimpse into the literary and esoteric world of late 19th-century France.
