Serious devil worship was what some aristocrats wanted. And they went to 'Lord' Eco to request them. More confessions from Eco's journal:
"Yes, Satan’s Blood Club—now that was an
interesting enterprise. One of the most evil, decadent clubs I have ever had
anything to do with. The
membership was entirely composed of aristocrats and their friends: bankers,
writers, actors and a sprinkling of some members of parliament. Shocked? I
would think you are. It was far worse than an existing club.
The
Hellfire Club was more for naughty, dirty-minded toffs than anything else.
Rampant, non vampiric sexual orgies and silly schoolboy anti-religious antics
were all the membership was concerned with.
Some
visiting lords told me: “We grew bored when we saw they had no intention at all
of sacrificing anyone or summoning demons, so we left!”
I had
heard gossip about this but didn’t tell them as they seemed to be delighted to
share what they thought was a secret with me.
“You were
quite right to leave,” I replied. “And you have come to the right place.”
I began
entertaining them in our private parlor. This was a rather ornately furnished
lounge that was not part of the actual brothel.
The
purpose of having the parlor within the brothel was two-fold. We lived there
and anyone such as these two gentlemen got quite an eyeful when they came. So
whatever business a caller came about, well, they knew where they were, shall
we say.
Our
vampiric wenches began to perform for them as soon as they stepped inside. In
no time, we witnessed the most depraved orgies.
They were
always grateful; in fact, they were intrigued with me. They considered me one
of their own. Truth be told, I did let them think I was something of an
aristocrat from France.
They
didn’t like France or the French, being the Englishmen they were, but one title
respected another as so often happens.
“You
know,” Lord Leighton said. “There are things occurring in France now that are
quite remarkable. I have heard about satanic practices that are held by the
landed gentry, going so far up as the king.”
This was
nothing new to me, which I told them. “Nearly a century ago,” I said, “there
were plots and satanic practices, along with poisonings and such. The king’s
own mistress was involved and a black arts practitioner known as La Voisin. It
was really something.”
So
thrilled they were that I told them all I knew, which wasn’t that much more,
other than to say that a number of beheadings had resulted from this.
Yes,
those Frenchies do have something of an affinity for that.
“I, too,
provide a similar service, although perhaps our practice is a bit more
contained,” I offered.
They
exchanged looks a few times, which was not lost on me. At last, one of them,
the older of the two lords, said what was on his mind. “We’d like to engage
your services, Lord Eco, for our club, you see. We’re just beginning to
organize ourselves now. It’ll be held at my country home in Kent, a secluded
spot with its own caves that don’t have to be dug out, as they are already
accessible. They go back to Roman and Druid times.”
He looked
quite proud when he said that..."

"In the attempt to find the just measure of horror and terror, I came upon the writing of Carole Gill whose work revealed a whole new dimension to me. The figure of the Gothic child was there. Stoker's horror was there. Along with the romance! At the heart of her writing one stumbles upon a genuine search for that darkness we lost with the loss of Stoker."
