All Hallows' Eve

About this book

A magician is planning to take over the world. He thinks his enemies are among the living...When Lester Furnival and her friend Evelyn die in a plane crash, they find themselves walking through a ghostly, surreal, twilight London. The scandalous magician Simon Leclerc has sacrificed his own child to gain control over this world-and the next. As Lester and Evelyn discover what has happened to them, they are pulled in different directions-one toward isolation and despair and the other toward a sacrificial self-giving that, to her great surprise, saves even her. All Hallows' Eve is Charles Williams' final novel-poignant, relevant, and chilling. Along with C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Williams formed The Inklings, a society of writers in Oxford, England who changed the world with their mythopoetic vision.
