The Black Alchemist: A Terrifying True Story by Andrew Collins
4.0
I love the original edition of this book, I must have read it 15 times in the last 25 years, so I was keen to compare.
Although I enjoyed this new and updated edition I missed some of my favourite parts that have been edited out along the way. They style is a bit more mature than the original, but as a long time follower of his work there was little added information I'd not heard at one point or another at questing conferences and events. If I was revisiting this without having re-read since the first edition or had any other forays into the subject I imagine I would have enjoyed it more. As it is I will be reaching for my trusty original next time I want to read it
