Description

Sinister occultist Oliver Haddo pursues forbidden knowledge and the creation of life, pulling others into macabre danger where magic and science collide. Maugham’s thriller of ambition, dread, and the cost of crossing that line. Spoken as when a charlatan’s shadow turns out to have real teeth and the laboratory is not safe either.

Author

W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) wrote Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, and a famous shelf of stories from the South Seas and the drawing room. A doctor by training, he observed with a cool, professional eye: desire, failure, and the cost of a vocation. With 35 titles in our catalogue, Maugham remains the English novelist of worldly intelligence — never sentimental, always readable.
