About this ebook
A psychic doctor and his paranormally gifted team fight to save the soul of a young girl—and the city—in this classic occult pulp thriller series opener.
A coven of witches and warlocks—among them some of New York’s most prominent celebrities—toying with sexual perversion, black magic, and human sacrifice. . . .
A hot downtown discotheque where an incredibly beautiful sixteen‑year‑old seduces young men into the service of Satan. . . .
A defrocked priest whose all-consuming ambition and awesome occult powers make him famous enough to lure a capacity crowd to Yankee Stadium to witness a dark “miracle”—the cure of the vice‑president’s daughter….
Doctor Owen Orient, psychiatrist, physician, psychic adept—and his team of telepaths—stake their lives against a ravening evil . . .
