A thrilling and spine-chilling compendium sure to appeal to those who enjoy reading a spooky tale by candle-light, The Supernatural Omnibus is one of the most infamous of its kind and is well deserving a place amongst any collection of dastardly literature. The sections of this book include: Malefic Hauntings: Mixed Types, Haunting and Disease, From Beyond the Grave, The Undead Dead, The Dead Return, In Love or Passion, A Vow Fulfilled, A Soul From Purgatory, Shadow Destiny, Black Magic, Satanism, Witchcraft, Contracts with the Demon, The Vampire, The Warewolf, Possession, Obsession, and Voodoo. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 - 1948) was an English author and clergyman, most remembered for his studies in witchcraft and for his translation of the notorious witch hunter's manual, the Malleus Maleficarum. Originally published in 1931, we are proud to republish this antique text now complete with a new introductory biography of the author.
