{"product_id":"the-magician-9781646796960","title":"The Magician","description":"\"Will, love, and imagination are magic powers that everyone possesses; and whoever knows how to develop them to their fullest extent is a magician.\" -Oliver Haddo, The Magician (1908) by Somerset Maugham The Magician (1908) by Somerset Maugham weaves the occult, good versus evil, and enthralling characters into a spine-tingling tale. Maugham's magician character, Oliver Haddo, is based on Aleister Crowley, a widely known writer, occultist, and ceremonial magician of the early twentieth century. However, the character is thought to be more of a caricature of Crowley than a true depiction. The intrigue begins when Haddo seduces a woman who is engaged to be married and continues with revenge, magic, and murder. This Gothic horror novel is a must-read for those who enjoy flawed characters and a page-turning plotline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Somerset W.
