Paperback. Condition: Fair. First Edition. "A novel about black magic." Black Easter by James Blish is a dark, intellectually driven novel that blends theology, occultism, and speculative fiction. The story follows a wealthy industrialist, Baines, who hires a black magician, Theron Ware, to perform a terrifying experiment: to re…lease all the demons of Hell for one night-Walpurgisnacht-just to see what will happen. Ware, a professional and cautious practitioner of ritual magic grounded in historical grimoires, reluctantly agrees. As the ritual unfolds, demons are summoned under strict magical control. However, things go disastrously wrong when the forces unleashed cannot be contained as expected. The novel builds toward a chilling revelation: the supernatural order governing good and evil may not function as humanity assumes. In a shocking theological twist, the consequences suggest that Hell may no longer be constrained at all. Rather than focusing on horror action, the book explores: The logic and structure of ritual magic; The moral responsibility of knowledge and power; Deep questions about faith, free will, and divine absence. It's a cerebral, unsettling work-more philosophical than sensational-often compared to religious or metaphysical thought experiments. THIS scarce volume has some heavy cover damage (chipping) from humidity (covers of two different books stuck to it) and a small chunk missing out of top of cover and first few pages. Pages are nearly new otherwise. Binding is clean and tight. No writing. Paperback edition. 160 pages. Dimensions: 4.25" by 7". Published by Dell Publishing Co., Inc., New York Copyright 1968, 2nd printing, 1969. Multi-Color binding. Cover defect(s): Some tears. Some scratches/scuffing. Some chipping. 0.5 Pound Media Shipping Rate with Multiple Product Orders. (Min Shipping Rate 1 Pound per Order). Order More and SAVE! Genre(s): Black Magic / Witchcraft / Supernatural / English.
