Is a collection (12) of short true stories by Christian mystic/occultist Dion Fortune [real name Violet Firth: 1890 - 1946]. My copy is by Ariel Press. I'm sure Google will yield up info and Alibris.com or Bookfinder.com would have copies available.
"Dr. Taverner" was a real-life male mystic under whom Fortune worked and studied. These short stories recount her most remarkable "cases" with him as mentor. Ms. Fortune briefly outlines all this in her Introduction.
The stories are:
Blood-Lust
The Return of the Ritual
The Man Who Sought
The Soul That Would Not Be Born
The Scented Poppies
The Death Hound
A Daughter of Pan
The Subletting of the Mansion
Recalled
The Sea Lure
The Power House
A Son of the Night
Gothic enough for you? Lol.
It's right up the Gothic alley. I've had this book about 14 years now, occasionally re-read the stories. Always interesting.
