So, given the current lack of ink regarding our beloved legion, renegages, and Slaanesh in general, I thougt it would be cool to have a thread to recommend books and other written content, from codex fragments to novels and other books (like the good ol' Liber chaotica); even non-warhammer books that may have some interest or slaaneshi influence. There is a majority of widely known books (Fulgrim novels in HH, Lucius the faultless blade, Fabius omnibus...) that you can find in every recommendation list, like here:
To start this thread, I would like to recommend two older Black library novels: Eye of Terror, by Barrington Bailey, and Daemon world, by Ben Counter. Both give a lot of insight on how life is in the Eye of Terror. In the first one, we get to see chaos xenos who adore Slaanesh, as well as a woman possesed by a daemonette who, thanks to that daemon, can travel the warp inside the Eye and pilot a ship, guiding it through the empirean currents like a navigator. There is many other things, like marines getting tempted by Slaanesh, liquor made of souls, and the roots of my desire (read the book, seriously, it's super enjoyable). Some of it might not be cannon anymore, but it's well written (at least the Spanish translation I got some years ago) and has tons of wonderful information about the warp, daemons and their worlds, hierarchy... An amazing read, with great world building and good plot.
The second book, Daemon world, is a novel about a very valuable planet inside the Eye. It is currently governed by a slaaneshi daemon princess, and there is a lot of interesting characters, from cultists (including a lady that dominates the daemon that posseses her) to a fallen space marine chapter devoted to Slaanesh (though, sadly, they don't do much in the book). Following the current of the previous book, it is a nice read to know more about the life inside of the Eye, in a daemon world under the grasp of Slaanesh. A bit worse than the first one, in my opinion, but still a solid choice.
