The Alabaster Book of Occult Fiction, the fourth in a series of books of occult fiction of many colors, brings together twenty-one tales from the French occult revival of the nineteenth century and the early part of the twentieth century. Including key figures, such as Jules Bois and the esoterist Jean-Gaston Buorgeat, and numerous other practitioners, such as Jane de La Vaudère and Claude Vignon, the ex-wife of Éliphas Lévi, this volume, much of the contents of which appears in English for the first time, is sure to give new insight into one of the most interesting periods of the occult. Containing a varied and rich array of stories, about necromancy and magnetism, seers and mystical love, The Alabaster Book of Occult Fiction, edited and translated by Brian Stableford, who also supplies a brilliant, scholarly introduction, is an indispensable addition to any library of the supernatural and occult.
