Synopsis "The Slayer of Souls / The Maker of Moons"

THE SLAYER OF SOULS It is the year 1920. A dedicated group of Mongol Yezidees are plotting to overthrow the governments of the world. Led by the evil sorcerer Prince Sanang, the Slayer of Souls, their ultimate aim is the triumph of evil. The only person who stands between their dark design and world chaos is a young woman named Tressa Norne. An American orphaned in Mongolia, Tressa was trained in the magical arts as a temple girl in fabled Yian. She escapes the Yezidee and comes to New York where she is enlisted by Secret Service agent Victor Cleves. Soon she is locked in a psychic life-and-death battle with the Eight Towers of the Assassins. The world begins to slide into madness. Now Tressa must face the true test and defy the Slayer of Souls himself. THE MAKER OF MOONS Roy Cardenhe joins Col. Franklyn Barris and Billy Pierpont in the Cardinal Woods for a thinly disguised hunting trip. What they are really after is a group of counterfeiters who seem to have figured out how to make gold. Separated from the group, Roy stumbles across a strange pond where me meets a mysterious woman named Ysonde who claims to be from a place called Yian. But danger and magic are afoot in the woods--strange crab-like creatures begin to appear --and Roy begins to wonder if he is in the midst of a dream. But no! Yue-Laou, the Maker of Moons, has returned! And the wailing Yeth-hounds are loose in the forest...

American writer known for his tales of horror and mystery. He published The King in Yellow (1895), a collection of short stories that influenced fantasy and horror literature, with elements that later inspired writers like H.P. Lovecraft. Although he initially excelled in macabre and supernatural fiction, his career took a turn towards romantic and historical novels, with titles like The Tracer of Lost Persons (1906) and The Dark Star (1917)

His work combines cosmic horror with the literary decadence of the late 19th century. The King in Yellow remains his most recognized book, particularly for its impact on horror mythology. Despite having written numerous novels, his legacy focuses on the influence he had on the horror genre.
