First published in 1926, "The Secrets of Dr. Taverner" is an essential and fun read for anyone interested in the Western Mystery Tradition, a work of supernatural fiction by acclaimed spiritualist and occult writer Dion Fortune.
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 Dr. 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.
