Humours and intriguing, this compassionate examination of the Necronomicon is a thorough repudiation of the myths surrounding it, yet preserves much of the romance and fascination associated with the legend.My introduction to fantasy came in the form of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, which is perhaps one of, if not the most, well-known and regarded fantasy works of all time. Much more than just a dry, factual acoount, Harm’s and Gonce’s deep knowledge in their respective fields of interest bring the history and continuing influenceof the Necronomicon alive with wit and verve. From appearances and references in movies and other media, to the actual magical concepts behind the fictional and published Necronomicon variants. From a complete history of the book as it evolved in the Cthulhu mythos started by Lovecraft and continued by others, to contemporary editions now available to the public. The Necronomicon Files is an incredibly comprehensive guide to the Necronomicon that covers all aspects, legends and factual history surroundsing this nefarious book. Necronomicon a mere glance at its pages sends its readers shrieking into the night, their soul seared for all eternity! At least that’s what people want you to believe Thank goodness authors Daniel Harms and John Wisdom Gonce III set the record straight in this scholarly yet accessible history of the dreaded tome. In the end it will be magic against magic, and Holly McClure will have to risk all for life and love.ĭouble or Nothing (By:Laura Anne Gilman,C.J. Holly’s passionate love affair will be derailed by those who want to drain her for their own purposes. The danger to Holly is extreme, for her special gift is the power of her blood to strengthen and bind any spell, for good or for evil. But trouble is coming to the City in the form of a black coven run by a murderous psychopath, and deputy marshals and ADAs are powerless to deal with that kind of crime.

Holly is far more interested in Evan Lachlan, the handsome federal marshal who works with her best friend, assistant district attorney Susannah Wingfield. Holly McClure is one of them, a successful writer who tries to ignore her heritage, except when the local Magistrate needs her special gift in his coven. New York City has a small, and by preference discrete, population of witches and wizards who live and love and go dancing just like everyone else. There is magic in the big city literally.
