Synopsis
This exclusive omnibus brings together two of Dennis Wheatley's most famous Black Magic tales, featuring the formidable Duke de Richleau. Wheatley's profound knowledge of the occult creates an atmosphere of startling realism, with terror lurking round every corner.
"The Devil Rides Out": The most important work of its kind since Dracula, this compelling tale sees the Duke de Richleau, Rex Van Ryn and Marie Lou battle the evil yet charismatic Satanist Mr. Mocata for the souls of their friend Simon Aron and the beautiful, mysterious Tanith. Simon has been driven to the brink of insanity through his dabbling with the powers of evil, while Tanith has become caught in Mocata's Satanic web. De Richleau and his friends are desperate to prevent Mocata initiating Simon and Tanith into his Satanic coven on the unholy sabbath of Walpurgis Night and damning them forever.
"Gateway to Hell": De Richleau, Simon Aron and Marie Lou have for years faced many dangers in Russia, Spain and Nazi Germany, and now a new menace confronts them. Their close friend Rex Van Ryn has vanished in South America, taking over a million dollars from his family's Buenos Aires bank. While searching for the missing Rex, the trio again pit themselves against the powers of darkness and discover that behind the conventional courtesy of Argentine high society lies a conspiracy that leads to the Devil himself...
