The Supernatural Omnibus by Montague Summers
Contained within this book is a collection of haunting and diabolical tales, assembled by the learned Catholic witch-hunter, Augustius Montague Summers. 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 well deserves a place amongst any collection of dastardly literature. The chapters in this book include (to name a few): 'Malefic Hauntings', 'The Undead Dead', 'A Soul From Purgatory', '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.
Montague Summers (1880-1948) wrote numerous books on witches, vampires, and werewolves from a true believer's point of view. He also edited and translated several important early texts on demonology and witchcraft.
