Beautiful Books,
Made to Last.
Trade-quality publishing services for independent authors and a curated line of Forgotten Classics — crafted with the care that enduring books deserve.
Black Magic (Annotated)
In medieval Bruges, a young painter falls under the influence of Dirk Renswoude — a coldly brilliant student of the black arts who believes that will and knowledge, pushed far enough, can break the laws of God and nature. Gothic historical fiction of rare intensity, written when Bowen was a teenager and published in 1909 to immediate acclaim. Graham Greene named her the most important early influence on his career.
This Squire Press edition restores the full, uncut 1909 text with an original introduction and scholarly endnotes illuminating the alchemical practices and medieval detail that give the novel its texture.
