Jules de Grandin, the inimitable, indomitable occult investigator, plunges over the threshold of terror as he pursues the spawn of Satan to their most hidden lairs.

A tribe of Oriental Devil people...the sinister Greek God Pan...a wolf man who casts an unholy spell of horror...a world of lost and lusting souls ruled by a vampire king...a horrifying private club devoted to inhuman rites...a hand of evil that no ordinary mortal can resist...all are unforgettable chilling challenges as Jules de Grandin goes after his eerie enemies on their own hunting grounds.
