The Curse of The Red Crystal contains eleven ghostly tales, each spinning its own web of intrigue. They will take you over the distance from Victorian times to the present day, from Egyptian tombs to modern streets, from creaking ships to stately mansions, and from good intentions to damnation. Mysterious locales, mystical artifacts, eerie omens, and macabre machinations converge to delight and horrify even the most complacent among us in these atmospheric accounts of guilt, revenge, and obsession. Be it mad science performed on human bodies or madness inflicting the soul, Anton Von Stefan examines what lies beneath the veneer of familiarity to see what hides from us in the shadows. Be prepared—your hair will bristle and your jaw may drop. Covering your eyes will not make the words go away, it will just burn the image deeper in your mind.
