A wonderful book about pre-LaVey Satan:
The Devil in Love by Jacques Cazotte. Be sure to get the edition with additional writing by Gerard de Nerval.
Nerval was the real deal. Way too independent-minded to join a feel-good group. Wrote great prose and difficult poetry. Learned eastern languages in Cairo, where he owned a slave. Narrowly escaped marriage in Istanbul. Made it all the way to Baghdad back when it was difficult.
Picked up several times in the streets of Paris for having strange mystical experiences, but always treated kindly by the police. (Parisian police were sympathetic to mystical experience in those days.) Eventually hung himself.
A great man.
