A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick

The Occultist by Max Théon is a remarkable rediscovered work from the hidden history of Western esotericism, now published in book form for the first time. Originally serialized in 1899 in the Journal du Magnétisme, this unusual text blends mystical narrative with visionary occult philosophy, offering a rare glimpse into Théon’s unique cosmology and spiritual teachings. Théon—an enigmatic figure associated with the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor and the founder of the Cosmic Movement—played a fascinating role in the development of modern esoteric thought alongside his wife Alma Théon, whose teachings together formed what became known as the Cosmic Tradition. This edition presents the text in a new English translation by Daniel Kennedy and includes an introduction by Andraž Marchetti, the companion piece “A Vision,” and a helpful glossary that illuminates Théon’s symbolic language. Blending occult speculation, mystical insight, and fin-de-siècle esoteric imagination, The Occultist offers readers and collectors a rare opportunity to engage with the writings of one of the most mysterious figures of the late-nineteenth-century occult revival.

"You will not find Bally na Bride on any map or in any guidebook, but perhaps, if you are familiar with the Irish tongue, you may be able to pierce the somewhat thin disguise of the name. And if you are at home among the people of the west so that they love you, you may be shown the old tower and the mansion house and the little village; the cottage where Mother McDonagh the witch lived and Paddy the Groom saw the Devil in the form of a black tomcat, and the fisherman’s hut on the dangerous cliff path, and the Druidic ring of stones known as the Devil’s Dancers, and you may be told all the old stories on the very places where they happened.But we must be cautious. For if it be libellous, as it certainly is, to say that a man’s house is haunted, it is far more so to say that it is cursed."

The original typescript was found in a box of old books in 2025 - this is Brodie-Innes' last novel. Set a village in the romantic west of Ireland, this is a tale of ancestral curses, black magic, unrequited romance and occult lore.
