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.
