An ornate Chinese object does more than reflect an unfamiliar world: it opens a passage into one. Known as the Dragon Glass, this occult gateway draws Herndon, a wealthy adventurer and collector, beyond the boundaries of ordinary experience. His supernatural exploration leads into a green-lit realm of gardens, mountains and strange architecture, where beauty cannot be separated from danger and every revelation tests the limits of human knowledge. Ward recounts his friend's extraordinary experiences in a first-person framed narrative, lending the tale the immediacy of testimony while leaving reality and illusion uneasily intertwined. Herndon's acquisitive curiosity meets forces that cannot simply be collected, classified or controlled. The mysterious Santhu accompanies him through a domain overshadowed by Rak the Wonder-Worker, whose power introduces pursuit and menace into an otherworldly realm already resistant to human understanding. Lavish alien imagery gives this portal fantasy its distinctive tension: a fantastical city and an ivory-like house invite wonder even as supernatural danger closes in. The contrast between Herndon's familiar Fifth Avenue surroundings and the realm beyond the gateway sharpens the story's questions about attachment, freedom and the price of crossing forbidden thresholds. Combining occult adventure with horror fiction, it turns the desire to possess the marvellous into an encounter with powers beyond possession. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
