The latest issue of the UK SF magazine “SFX”, contains a profile of the author Robert Rankin with the headline comment – “His dad was a mate of Aleister Crowley so it’s perhaps no surprise that the fourth Robert Fleming Rankin has become such a unique story teller”. There is some brief discussion as to the extent the “Rune” character featured in several of Rankin’s books, is based on Crowley and mention of some signed first editions puportedly given to Rankin’s father by Crowley.
