Publisher Description: In this supernatural thriller by bestselling author W. Somerset Maugham, magician Oliver Haddo (based on Aleister Crowley) attempts to create a homunculus--an artificial but living human being. Maugham spent many days in the library of the British Museum researching the black arts in order to write this chilling and memorable tale. The climax in Haddo's hellish castle is as frightening as anything you're apt to read in this genre, and it stays in the memory. Ready to be creeped out? Here's your chance. |
