Death hounds, shape shifters, and vampires are among the patients
treated by the Holmes-like Dr. Taverner and his assistant Dr.
Rhodes in this work of supernatural fiction by acclaimed
spiritualist and occult writer Dion Fortune.
First published in 1926, the adventures of Dr.Taverner and Dr.
Rhodes take readers across the marshy moonlit fields of nightfall,
hunting spirits and keeping watch over souls. Suffering from
vampirism? Being stalked by a death hound? Haunted by past life
debts? Family under a suicidal curse? From across the countryside
patients and their desperate families come to seek treatment for
unconventional diseases from an unconventional doctor. His secret?
Treating the diseases of the occult.
Though Fortune wrote "The Secrets of Doctor Taverner" as her first
novel, she maintained that all the events were based on true
occurrences. Many believe Taverner to be Fortune's own spiritual
teacher, Dr. Moriarty, and Rhodes to be based on Fortune herself.
An essential and fun read for anyone interested in the Western
Mystery Tradition, Dion Fortune, the melding of medicine and magic,
or just good old-fashioned paranormal fiction.
