Has anyone read this book?

"A
magickal grimoire documenting, for the first time anywhere, practical
methods for obtaining full initiation into the vampire community."

"The Book also details the correct magickal pathway to becoming one of
these "made vampires" step-by-step, so that any intelligent reader may
move forward to experience the requisite initiations and undergo the
root elevation that has lain hidden for centuries at the heart of the
Ardetha."

I am having a hard time with the premise of the book for many reasons one of them being that the Goetic Spirit Bume can in fact create a vampire out of a mere moral. In my opinion, I do not believe this to be true. I feel the only thing one will get out of the process is to become a slave of Bume. In my personal opinion, Goetic spirits are not Gods like Aset.
Why Bume instead of more powerful spirits like Belial or Paimon is used for this task? Granted everything about Bume or any other Goetic spirit is published in the Goetia or anywhere else except in small portions but, it is hard to believe that Goetic Spirits can make one immortal.

It also gives one unlimited time to improve themselves, though I find myself wishing often for a force to end my life as it is. Whatever force I plead to refuses to let me die just yet, as if I have some purpose to accomplish first. Annoying is what that is, having to wander practically in the dark, trying to be perfect, when society begs you to make mistakes and even sets up their systems so it is unavoidable, lest one wishes to neglect their Self in exchange for pleasing those in charge. But I digress far from the current topic.

People seem to have lost perspective of what humanity is all about and so they deserve their fate and I leave them to it and sit back and watch as the end draws nigh with great satisfaction. I have no desire to see a planet full of mostly undeserving human beings be saved from reaping what they have sewn. I know it is a jaded outlook but I detest the current state of the world.
It may sound cheesy but just now I have been reminded of a line from the movie "The Green Mile", when John Coffee explains to the guard that he is tired of feeling all the pain the world inflicts upon one another. The cruelty that man visit upon one another and the wickedness they do for the sake of doing it. I kind of feel like that, hopeless for the future of the planet and for humankind. Too many wrongs have been done that cannot in my opinion be undone, too much suffering, too much cruelty. These people don't deserve the life in which they were given the gift of living. They don't recognize it and why should I expect them to change and why should I pity them when their darkest hour draws close?
Death may be lonely but living is far worse.
