The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
A YOUNG MAN CURSED BY THE ULTIMATE INVOCATION OF EVIL
Incantations of black magic unearthed unspeakable horrors in a quiet town near Providence, Rhode Island. Evil spirits – whose memory lived on in half-understood legends and vile superstitions – lurked in underground caverns... waiting to be unleashed.
Driven by the spirit of his dead ancestor, a master of the black arts, Ward delved into his forbidden past and resurrected the darkest evil from beyond the grave... a supernatural force so gruesomely relentless that it twists genius to madness and kills without offering the mercy of death!
