The Green Eyes of Bast by Sax Rohmer is a gripping supernatural thriller that intertwines mystery, ancient mythology, and the occult in a uniquely haunting narrative. This modern translation reawakens a tale that has long slumbered in the shadows of classic horror fiction.
When Sir Marcus Coverly is murdered under inexplicable circumstances, the evidence points to no human assassin-but rather, to something feline and otherworldly. Detective Paul Harley, a specialist in strange and supernatural cases, is called in to investigate. His journey takes him deep into London's darkest alleys and across the arcane mysteries of ancient Egypt, where the cult of Bastet-the feline goddess of vengeance-still casts its chilling shadow.
Rohmer, the famed creator of Dr. Fu Manchu, here crafts a tale of suspense that explores the fear of the unseen, the power of belief, and the dangers of awakening forces better left undisturbed.
What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:
- A Chilling Mystery of the Supernatural - Follow Paul Harley as he unravels a murder unlike any other, guided by clues that defy logic and science.
- Ancient Egyptian Lore and Occultism - Dive into the mythical worship of Bastet, curses, reincarnation, and hidden tombs.
- Psychological and Paranormal Tension - Experience a slow-burning terror rooted in primal fear and exotic dread.
- A Forgotten Horror Classic, Reimagined - This adaptation brings Rohmer's atmospheric prose to the modern reader with clarity and suspense.
Uncover the sinister truth behind the cat's gaze-if you dare. The Green Eyes of Bast will captivate fans of vintage horror, occult thrillers, and Gothic suspense.
