The Long Hard Road out of Hell is the first autobiography by Marilyn Manson (with assistance by Neil Strauss of Rolling Stone), released on April 1, 1999 by ReganBooks. It follows Manson's life from a child who discovers his grandfather's sexual fetishism, to the forming of Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids, to the recording of Antichrist Superstar. Its last pages contain the journal of the band's touring, documenting backstage events and people's reactions. The book itself includes many references to his life of drugs, sex and twisted relationships that led him to where he would be up until 1998, and even now (to some extent).

The autobiography also goes in-depth into the break-ups amongst the band's history. It follows several members through becoming friends and musicians with the band to angry and sometimes bitter leavings, some bands members detest being fired so badly that lawsuits have been filed against Manson by his own crew members.

Along with the book are numerous pictures, some of which are familiar to long-time Manson fans, with the center pages including everything from the Slasher Girls to Manson performing "Antichrist Superstar" with a Bible in his hand. More exciting, perhaps, are the numerous pictures scattered throughout the pages, documenting such things as girlfriends and band landmarks, to the rarer, such as Manson with Anton Szandor LaVey, to whom the book is dedicated to.
