Produktbeschreibung

VINTAGE CLASSICS//WEIRD GIRLS: Dive into the depraved, delectable depths of women's weird fiction.

'If we obtain great power . . . what would you do with it?'

A craftsman by day and worshipper of the occult by night, Dirk Renswoude is intelligent, ruthless and deeply devoted to evil. When the wind brings the young scholar Thierry to his door, the pair are astonished to find their hidden obsessions with the black arts mirrored in another. Under the cover of a hushed midnight sky a sudden, intimate bond is ignited.

Lead by Dirk's wicked brilliance, the two occultists set off on a journey to enrich their powers, hexing their way through the weird woodlands and haunted libraries of medieval Europe. Yet as his talents grow, it becomes increasingly clear that Dirk will stop at nothing to fulfil his dark desires, all while concealing one precious secret. First published in 1909, Black Magic is the dazzling rediscovered tale of a ground-breaking anti-hero.

'A subtle and complex thriller...Just don't give away its secret' Washington Post
