Synopsis:
Not pleasant; genuinely sensational.
A secret community in modern England successfully employs magic, the evocation of forbidden powers, black magic. The Island of Souls was "a place of sacrifice in the pre-Christian period" and is the central place of evil today; a "holy well" is the central place of good.
One teenage boy, son of a priest, seeks control of a teenage girl.
The presentation of magic, ceremony and effect, is learned and poetic.
-- from reviews The Scotsman 1910-09-26 p2, Manchester Guardian 1910-11-30 p7
