The Secrets of Dr. Taverner
Dion Fortune
A collection of occult detective stories inspired by Dion Fortune’s own experiences as a student of the mystical and unseen.
Dr. Taverner, a brilliant and enigmatic physician, runs a private nursing home for patients whose afflictions defy conventional medicine. Alongside his assistant Dr. Rhodes, he confronts forces far stranger than disease—malevolent psychic attacks, astral projections gone wrong, vampiric entities, and the dark arts of occult practitioners.
Each case blends medical science with the supernatural, pulling readers into a shadowy world where the boundary between body and spirit is perilously thin. Fortune’s tales combine suspense, rich psychological insight, and a sense of genuine esoteric knowledge that makes them uniquely compelling among early 20th-century occult fiction.
Chilling, atmospheric, and thought-provoking, The Secrets of Dr. Taverner remains a classic for fans of supernatural mysteries, occult thrillers, and anyone fascinated by the hidden dimensions of human experience.
