The Necromancers

by Robert Hugh Benson

A group of occult investigators confront practitioners of genuine black magic, in a tale written by a Catholic priest more interested in spiritual danger than in cheap shock. Benson took the reality of evil rather seriously, which gives the book a gravity most pulp horror of the period lacks. Whether you share his convictions or not, he clearly meant every word of it.
