''Riding a Black Unicorn Down the Side of an Erupting Volcano While Drinking from a Chalice Filled with the Laughter of Small Children'' (more commonly referred to by its abbreviated name ''Riding a Black Unicorn...'') is the eighth studio album by dark cabaret singer Aurelio Voltaire, released on September 2, 2011.

Monster Manual IV
