The Sorcery Club [Hardcover]

Elliott O'Donnell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2006

"Rain is responsible for a great deal more than the mere growth of vegetables -- it is a controller, if a somewhat capricious controller, of man's destiny." Thus begins Elliott O'Donnells' novel, The Sorcery Club and thus begins the story of Leon Hamar who is forced to take refuge in a second-hand bookstore to avoid the rain and there ends up acquiring a curious book on the black arts in Atlantis. Hamar and his two friends study the book and the information contained therein with surprising and frightening results. Although The Sorcery Club is fiction, Elliott O'Donnell was an interested observer of psychic and supernatural phenomenon and wrote many factual books as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but..., July 28, 2011

This review is from: The Sorcery Club (Kindle Edition)

This is a good book but when I reached the end of it, it just cut off. The three men who made up the company were just real *shuders*....so I could care less about what actually happened to them, but it would've been nice to learn the fate of Gladis and the poor artist who was smitten with her. I dont know if this was the way the book just ended or if there is some error in the text but it sure left me hanging! Beware of some serious racial slurs throughout the book, but all in all it was a good read. I Love Lovecraft though and belive he could've done a better job. I wonder who influenced who?

If you can get past the casual racism, anti-Semitism, turn of the last century British snobbery, shallow character development, and over simple storytelling this turns out to be an amusing quick read about three cads who obtain mysterious occult powers from a sinister force from Atlantis.
