In the dark heart of Germany, a master of forbidden arts has returned from the grave. And he demands a price.
A chilling cornerstone of the early Gothic movement, The Necromancer plunges the reader into a world of lurid superstition, decaying castles, and malevolent sorcery. Set amid the stormy shadows of the Black Forest, this novel is a dizzying, delirious series of interconnected tales, all centered on the enigmatic and terrifying figure of Volkert, the Necromancer.
Through ghost-ridden inns, haunted ruins, and whispered narratives, the story follows a trail of supernatural violence, murder, and ghostly manifestations. Is Volkert truly a wizard back from the dead, controlling the fates of all who cross his path? Or is he a cunning con-man whose elaborate frauds prove that the fear of the unknown is the most potent magic of all?
Beware the man who toys with the boundary of life and death.
Famous for its intricate and bewildering plot, and as one of the infamous seven horrid novels parodied in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey The Necromancer delivers a spectacular feast of classic Schauerroman (shiver novel) thrills.
Lose yourself in the most bizarre and compelling Gothic novel you've never read.
