The Necromancer; Or, The Tale of the Black Forest - Paperback

by Karl Kahlert (Author)

Considered one of the horrid novels by Jane Austin's Northanger Abby, Hermann and Helfried recount their supernatural encounters in the haunted Black Forest of Germany. At the heart of these tales is Volkert the Necromancer, a mysterious figure who uses fear, superstition, and sorcery to control those around him. Ghost stories, dark rituals, and criminal intrigue, which often blurs the line between genuine supernatural events and elaborate hoaxes places it as a quintessential Schauerroman-a German subgenre of Gothic horror.
