About Essence of Evil – Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More: Over 27 hours delving into literatures darkest depths

Pure Evil is one of our greatest fears. No appeals to reason, no pleas of mercy or forgiveness will have the slightest impact on the mind of the oppressor. But in this volume our authors are rather more spiteful that we could at first imagine. Here they blight the lives of characters with Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic and other assorted ghouls that care little about the fate of you or I. 1 - Essence of Evil - Tales of Curses, Necromancy, Dark Magic & More - An Introduction 2 - The Mark of the Beast by Rudyard Kipling 3 - The Brute by Joseph Conrad 4 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 1 by H P Lovecraft 5 - Herbert West - Reanimator - Part 2 by H P Lovecraft 6 - The Mass of Shadows by Anatole France 7 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman 8 - Casting the Runes by M R James 9 - Clairvoyance by D K Broster 10 - Warning Whispers by A M Burrage 11 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 1 by Ernst Raupach 12 - Wake Not the Dead - Part 2 by Ernst Raupach 13 - The Dead Hand by Wilkie Collins 14 - The Beast With Five Fingers by W F Harvey 15 - The Withered Arm by Thomas Hardy 16 - The Arm of Mrs Egan by W F Harvey 17 - The Monkey's Paw by W W Jacobs 18 - The Hair by A J Alan 19 - The Ash Tree by M R James.wav 20 - Blood - Part 1 by Hanns Heinz Ewers 21 - Blood - Part 2 by Hanns Heinz Ewers 22 - Beyond the Pale by H D Everett 23 - The Operation by Violet Hunt 24 - Foreordained by Anthony Hope 25 - The Miracle by John Davys Beresford 26 - Lost Hearts by M R James 27 - Lost in a Pyramid (or the Mummy's Curse) by Louisa May Alcott writing as A M Bernard 28 - The Screaming Skull by F Marion Crawford 29 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson 30 - Witchcraft by Arthur Machen 31 - A Witches Den by Helena Blavatsky 32 - When I Was a Witch by Charlotte Perkins Gilman 33 - The Spectre Bridegroom by William Hunt 34 - The Waxworks by A M Burrage 35 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 1 by Edward Bulwer Lytton 36 - The Haunted and the Haunters; or, The House and the Brain - Part 2 by Edward Bulwer Lytton 37 - The Ebony Frame by Edith Nesbit 38 - St Johns Eve by Nikolai Gogol 39 - A Fight with a Cannon by Victor Hugo 40 - Carnacki, The Ghost Finder - No 1 - The Gateway of the Monster by William Hope Hodgson 41 - Couching at the Door by D K Broster 42 - The Death Hound by Violet Mary Firth writng as Dion Fortune 43 - Marsyas In Flanders by Vernon Lee 44 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 1 by Aleister Crowley 45 - The Testament of Magdalen Blair - Part 2 by Aleister Crowley
