Johndee Stories

Every now and then, the gang actually does what Wolfgang WANTS to do... not what he NEEDS to do. This lovely little jaunt to the catacombs of Paris is just one of those fun little adventures! That, of course, goes horribly wrong, all Hell breaks loose, and Wolfgang finds himself trapped under Paris in a flooding part of the catacombs. This is, naturally, why you don't carry out underground expeditions into unknown, unchartered, and extremely dangerous and highly illegal areas of said catacombs filled with corpses. Hence, his wonderful companions; Abigor, a demon from hell who kinda, sorta happens to be a vampire also. Due to an unfortunate event ending in an escape from hell in a golf cart. And, the love of his life, Gilles des Rais. The prolific and artistic French child rapist, murderer, failed alchemist, Necromancer, and fantastic guitar player of the 14th century. Who better to spend the rest of your somewhat immortal life with, no? Well, they got lost... And Wolf, well. Guess you'll have to read it to find out what the fuck he's gonna do to get out of the situation. IF he's gonna get out of the situation. Alive.

Abigor and Wolfgang, to the surprise of no one, are sent on a wild goose chase for the scrying stone of the great alchemist and Necromancer, Dr. John Dee. By, Dr. John Dee himself. Who happens to be alive by the way. Wolfgang Shanks, a forever world famous playwright revived and returned to this life to live it completely opposite of his first go at it, finds himself in pursuit of something absurd. Clearly for alternative motives than he was under the impression of. When Abigor has a plan, not even God knows what could happen. Literally. He's a demon. He's sort of a vampire too but that's a story for another day... and the fault of one Gilles des Rais. It was necessary. Shit happens. Turns out demons can die too, though they're certainly not in the habit of it. On this mission to find Dr. Dee's damn stone which Dee could easily make a new one of, Abigor has a secret agenda. One that, of course, ends up in chaos involving a cult leader's secret being exposed. What could go wrong? Abigor can't do anything without making a scene and demon or not, he's something special. Don't get him wrong, doing "the right thing" isn't usually on his list of things to do, but once in a while... well, ever since spending so many years with Wolfgang and the rest of the gang, he's not the same monster he once was. And when a trapped soul has to sit and watch such a betrayal, Abby might spontaneously decide to crash a sèance to prove a point, set a spirit free, and sometimes accidently become the desired new cult leader. Like I said, with Abigor... shit just happens. Welcome to Volume 1 of Tales of the Necromancers. A spin off from "The Necromancer" which will be published this year and available on Amazon.

A 16th century scheme purportedly to help persecuted religious minorities to escape to a new life in the New World is , six centuries later, revealed to have been a deadly scam to maroon the passengers on an Arctic coast in order to provide forced labour for a factory, where feathers from a rare seabird (the snaegeir - a relative of the great auk) are harvested to supply a lucrative trade in Europe - a wholesale slaughter which, within a few years, brought the birds to the edge of extinction. In the present day, Robertson Crutcher, a descendant of Johannes Cruytser, the merchant venturer who initiated the trade and built the factory, sets about atoning for t-he bloody stain upon his ancestry by placating the ghosts of the exploited would-be pilgrims and rescuing what may be the last surviving pair of snaegeir birds from Alba Maior, after a reported sighting by a whaling crew. The title, you may have recognised, comes from Coleridge's the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which is a major reference point. "Like one who, on a lonely road, Doth walk in fear and dread, And, having once turned round, walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread. In addition, The story draws heavily upon the facts of Martin Frobisher's life as a privateer and explorer, and his largely fruitless voyages to the coast of Labrador in 1576-78, including his association with the merchant venturer Michael Lok and the 'astrologer royal' Doctor John Dee.
