The Vermilion Book of Occult Fiction, the second in a series of books of occult fiction of many colors, brings together eighteen 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 lifestyle fantasist Joséphin Péladan, and numerous other practitioners, such as Jane de La Vaudère and the highly entertaining Renée Dunan, 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 reincarnation and
magic, visionaries and secret societies, The Vermilion 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.
