AGAINST THE LIGHT: A Nightside Narrative. Limited, Revised and Corrected Edition
by Grant, Kenneth
- Used
- Hardcover
London: Starfire Publishing Limited, 2016. Limited edition of 1000 copies. A FINE CLOTH COPY, sewn. With illustrated endpapers, color frontispiece, and a full color dust jacket designed by Steffi Grant. Kenneth Grant began writing the novel in the mid 1980s. He developed it in order to explore, in a fictional setting, many of the themes of 'The Book of the Spider'. The original intention was that "Against the Light" be published before The Ninth Arch, and this was achieved by its first publication in 1997. "Against the Light" has been re-set, and incorporates the corrections and additions which Kenneth Grant noted in his personal copy of the 1997 edition. New illustrated endpapers have been designed to include diary entries by the author from 1985 when the novel was started. Also, some early plot notes; the first draft of a cover blurb from 1995; and a gloss where Grant gives the meaning of symbols on the front of the dust-jacket, and a colored frontispiece that reproduces the bust of Mephistopheles, a mysterious and compelling figure, which is an integral feature of this novel, and which appears elsewhere in Grant's work. 142 pages. Octavo.

On learning that an ancestor was executed for witchcraft in the sixteenth century, the narrator is prompted to explore her history. Research having failed, he resorts to magical means and exposes an array of malefic forces poised to invade the Earth. In a deserted Welsh ruin he discovers a grimoire revealing traffic between alien entities and their terrestrial agents. Rumored to have lain for centuries in the custody of a Scottish clan, the grimoire's existence is known to very few. Among them are powerful occultists such as Aleister Crowley and Phineas Black, desperately tracking it down. The grimoire alone holds the keys ? and the Sign of Protection. A chimera? An allegory? More aptly, a Warning. Civilization is careering to destruction: it may find the Sign ? or, the Seal of its…
