{"product_id":"blish-james-black-easter-9781960241139","title":"Black Easter","description":"Theron Ware is a renowned scholar and Doctor of Divinity. He is also secretly one of the world's great Black magicians. And when a rich megalomaniac industrialist, Baines, enlists his aid in summoning a demon from Hell to assassinate the governor of California (in an \"excess of horror\"), Ware has no scruples about accepting the assignment. But this terrible and devilish deed is only a warm-up, a test from Baines to see whether Ware can help him to accomplish his ultimate purpose: opening the gates of Hell and allowing the legions of infernal demons to overrun the world ... Best known as a science fiction writer, James Blish (1921-1975) shows a darker side in his classic Black Easter (1968), a harrowing tale that blends horror, science fiction, fantasy, and a generous dose of black humor. The sequel, The Day After Judgment (1971), is also available from Valancourt. \"A fine break-through novel for the public that loved Rosemary's Baby.\" - Publishers Weekly \"A book which will fascinate, absorb and scare the hell out of you.\" - San Francisco Examiner \"The ending is an unexpected shocker. Mr. Blish has a capricious, deadly sense of humor. One you'll remember.\" - Kirkus Reviews","brand":"Valancourt Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53803702714710,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/blish-james-black-easter-9781960241139","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
