Haining assembles another dark, enticing mix of occult lore and witchy unease, digging into the symbols, curses, and shadow-traditions that have haunted European imagination for centuries. This second volume deepens the sense of forbidden knowledge—strange rituals, eerie coincidences, and tales of people who strayed too close to the supernatural edge. Haining’s gift is the blend: part folklore, part historical curiosity, part straight-up spooky storytelling, all wrapped in that unmistakable 70s occult-paperback atmosphere. A moody, sinister companion for readers who like their magic murky and their omens heavy.
