Shoggoths attack in this adrenaline-pumping novel set in the world of H. P. Lovecraft, where the horrors of the cosmos know no limits… It was in a way humanoid, as it stood on two legs and possessed two arms that ended in delicate digits that I would dare to call hands. Its skin was a pale blue, like the eggs of a robin, and curiously dry looking. The head was massive with a huge bulbous cranium, a large lipless mouth, and three blood red eyes that stared out at the world with nothing but hate.

In questo romanzo si tratta della vita di John Dee, occultista realmente esistito ai tempi della regina Elizabetta, più volte tacciato di negromanzia.

Questo romanzo di Gustav Meyrink, scrittore ed esoterista, viene pubblicato nel 1917, subito dopo il grande successo de "Il Golem", ma in realtà venne scritto in contemporanea al Golem dal 1906 al 1916, e il parallelo tra le due città, Praga e Amsterdam, è molto interessante.
