Summary

This early work of poetry, by Aleister Crowley, was originally published in 1898. Born in Royal Leamington Spa, England in 1875, Crowley was raised by Christian fundamentalist parents. He attended Trinity College at Cambridge University, but left before graduating. After leaving the college, he devoted his time to studying the occult, and travelled extensively throughout the world in persuit of its secret knowledge. He went on to become a prolific writer, producing essays, prose and poetry on a wide range of subjects. To this day he remains a highly influential figure, both in occult circles and popular culture. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

    What if you discovered that one of your relatives may have been murdered? 
The estate of Rhinebeck has many secrets. Two friends are determined to find out the truth about the death of a relative, but when everyone from the guests to the staff has their own agendas, that proves much more difficult than they ever imagined. Secrets have a life of their own and what the two friends discover will irrevocably change the lives of everyone. 
The award-winning debut novel of Ivan Obolensky, Eye of the Moon, is dramatically brought to life through the stellar performances of voice actors Carter Roy and Vanessa Richardson. 
“It’s difficult to say which is more intriguing: the twists and turns of the plot or the cast of characters whose stories intertwine in truly unexpected ways. Even the dog is both hilariously entertaining and integral to the plot. The tale spans generations, uncovers family secrets, and is sprinkled with otherworldly influences and mystery.” -Judges’ commentary from the “Eric Hoffer Book Award” 
“A gothic mystery set in 1977—involving the occult, stolen treasure, family secrets, and financial sabotage—Eye of the Moon is sumptuous in its description of white-tie dinner parties and sexual tensions with baronesses, and sharp in its maneuvering of several secret puzzles at once.” -IndieReader, 4.7 stars

    Daniel Manley did not experience a single moment of human kindness when cast out as a child onto the merciless cobblestone streets of 19th century London.  
One unsympathetic evening, while he lay cold and alone in a dark alley, he pleaded for death over living his abhorrent life a single moment longer. A mysterious voice emanates from the alley's darkest corner, stopping his despair upon taking his last gasp of frigid air. Daniel scans the darkness for the voices' origination.  
His fear turned to optimism as he takes solace in the words spoken by his newfound savior, 'Father.' Guided by Fathers, 'sound advice,' Daniel does his bidding, reigning terror on all who cause societies ruination.  
Is Father a figment of his imagination, or is he possessed by a dark beast that feeds on his unanswered prayers?
