Death hounds, shape shifters, and vampires are among the patients treated by the Holmes-like Dr. Taverner and his assistant Dr. Rhodes in this work of supernatural fiction by acclaimed spiritualist and occult writer Dion Fortune.

First published in 1926, the adventures of Dr.Taverner and Dr. Rhodes take readers across the marshy moonlit fields of nightfall, hunting spirits and keeping watch over souls. Suffering from vampirism? Being stalked by a death hound? Haunted by past life debts? Family under a suicidal curse? From across the countryside patients and their desperate families come to seek treatment for unconventional diseases from an unconventional doctor. His secret? Treating the diseases of the occult.

Though Fortune wrote The Secrets of Doctor Taverner as her first novel, she maintained that all the events were based on true occurrences. Many believe Taverner to be Fortune''s own spiritual teacher, Dr. Moriarty, and Rhodes to be based on Fortune herself.

An essential and fun read for anyone interested in the Western Mystery Tradition, Dion Fortune, the melding of medicine and magic, or just good old-fashioned paranormal fiction.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dion Fortune

Violet Mary Firth (1890-1946), mais conhecida como «Dion Fortune», foi uma das mais célebres ocultistas e escritoras esotéricas britânicas, além de pioneira da bruxaria moderna. Desde jovem integrou a Sociedade Teosófica e frequentou cursos de psicologia e psicanálise na Universidade de Londres. Em 1919 foi iniciada no templo londrino da Alpha et Omega, antes de ingressar na ordem Stella Matutina, ambas herdeiras do espírito e dos rituais da lendária Ordem Hermética da Aurora Dourada. Fortune, fundadora da sociedade secreta Fraternidade da Luz Interior, sofreu forte influência de Aleister Crowley, com quem se encontrou e manteve correspondência, bem como das suas teorias sobre magia sexual, e ainda dos mitos arturianos. Entre as suas obras de não-ficção destacam-se The Cosmic Doctrine, A Cabala Mística e Psychic Self-Defense. Morreu em 1946 de leucemia.
