Gruesome Grotesques Volume 3: Codex Gigas (Tales of the Occult) - Paperback

The mystical side of the known universe. We are all interested in it. Intrigued even. The Dark Arts is something which has captivated the minds of the human race since recorded history first began. The great ancient civilisations - the Romans, the Greeks, the Egyptians - all had their tales of twisted magic, terrifying daemons of the underworlds and more. Modern man may have advanced more technologically, but deep down we still share the same fears of the unknown as our predecessors did. We have wrestled with notions of the mysteries of life for centuries now. This compendium you hold in your hands is an international exploration of the occult, transgressing culture, class, race and creed. A collection of vivid verse and stories designed to enthral, entertain and educate in equal measure. But please be warned, our documentations are not for the faint of heart or the squeamish either.Welcome, seeker of knowledge, and enjoy the treats we have in store for you...
