Overview

Master of modern occultism, Lon Milo DuQuette, (author of Enochian Vision Magick and The Magick of Aleister Crowley) introduces the newest Weiser Books Collection—The Magical Antiquarian Curiosity Shoppe. Culled from material long unavailable to the general public, DuQuette curates this essential new digital library with the eye of a scholar and the insight of an initiate.

Perhaps the most perfectly composed vignette of tension and terror of all The King in Yellow episodes, Court of the Dragon drugs the reader like another sip of absinth, drawing us deep into the inner dialog of a tormented soul caught in the act of plunging into madness.
