Listen to "Portrait of Someone Who Never Existed" by James B. Pollack. 116 BPM, G# major, Ableton Live 9.2.1, 4 Ableton sample references, samples including Rob ZombieDragulaVocals Only.mp3. "Portrait of Someone Who Never Existed" is part of James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system rather than a literal one-to-one citation on this page.

Crowley was Pollack's writing advisor at Yale, so these titles also mark a personal artistic lineage, not only a literary reference.
