Publisher's Summary

Antony Ferrara is a modern-day sorcerer - a murderer who kills with his supernatural powers. And because nobody believes it, he can work his evil schemes in broad daylight, with a simpering smile. 

Originally published as Brood of the Witch-Queen, and largely ignored today, it was considered as one of Rohmer’s best novels when it first appeared in 1918. H.P. Lovecraft compared it to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and it certainly delivers many chilling moments. 

From headless bats to carpets of scarab beetles, from murderous plants to claustrophobic chills in the bowels of a pyramid, Robert Cairn and his Van Helsing-esque father chase Ferrara to Egypt and back to keep him from completing his cunning, nefarious plan.
