The Sorcery Club

About this book

Three impoverished men find an old book containing the secrets of Atlantean sorcery. They discover that its promises might be turned into money, influence and a very unusual business venture.

Elliott O'Donnell lets Leon Hamar and his friends found a club devoted to acquiring supernatural powers, then follows the increasingly unpleasant cost of their success. The novel treats occult knowledge as a temptation with very practical consequences. Its wicked humour and escalating danger grow from a simple beginning: three hungry men whose ambitions soon become monstrous.
