Go right to the source: The Satanic Bible by Anton Szandor LaVey. It's cheap and can be found on sites like Amazon.com and most major book stores. Also read the essays on churchofsatan.com.
LaVey's next two books, The Satanic Rituals and The Satanic Witch, just expand on two concepts mentioned in the second half of the Satanic Bible, "greater magic" (ritualistic emotoinal release in a controlled environment) and "lesser magic" (the art of manipulation) respectively. His last two, The Devil's Notebook and Satan Speaks, are collections of essays that show some of the principles put in practice.
If you're looking for earlier "de facto" Satanic work, there's a list of good suggestions in the appendix of Blanche Barton's "Church of Satan" (highly recommended book in and of itself, in fact I recommend it as a first or second read, though I think it's out of print at the moment). You can find the same lists here:

Before the Church of Satan there absolutely no religion called "Satanism". Sure you had the occasional aristocrats who indulged in a "black mass", or deranged people who styled themselves after church propaganda, but nothing that could be called a full religion or had a philosophy behind it. So that's what I mean by "go right to the source".

I'm not sure what you are refering to. As a Christian I have read some "Christian Books" that based on their content could have been called satanic, as they preached a different gospel other than that which paul preached.
As a young man I read about 1/2 of the satanic bible and I realized this was not the book for me. But even the devil can take a scropture of a Holy God and twist its meaning to suit his purpose.
Trust in the Lord and His Holy Spirit. Accept Jesus and His message of salvation. This is what is good and will see you through a troubled time.

Here's something ironic and that I'm certain that many will refuse to believe this truth, but I'll reveal anyway. The bibles, believe it or not, has been written by Satan.
What the people had not known is that although God is the author of the original bible, it is Satan who actually did the writing. In case you've been wondering why people gets so confused when reading the bible, well now you know one of the reasons why.
What I have just revealed is the actual truth. No joke.

Though not necessarily satanic texts, I recommend "Beyond Good and Evil" by Nietzsche. In addition, you might also be interested in his other works:
- "The Anti-Christ" *my personal favorite*
- "Thus Spake Zarathustra "
- "The Will to Power"
I find Nietzsche's insight into human mind profound and sometimes a bit alarming because of its accuracy.

i've got examine it. Your mileage could variety, in spite of the undeniable fact that it struck me as an immature philosophy, attempting to color a veneer of coherence over the opt to do despite you experience like. Crowley proposed some comparable innovations, yet with some inner consistency and intensity. LeVay especially a lot purely lifted from Crowley and Nietzche while attempting to justify a morality bereft of morals. jointly as Crowley's Thelema isn't a direction that i could choose in my opinion, while you're searching for a left-exceeded philosophy, i could advise it over LeVay's.
