Charles Williams

All Hallows' Eve

A young woman undergoes a startling change on a bridge in London in 1945. She enters a shadowy supernatural city, co-existing with the physical capital, a city ruled by a being with plans to dominate both the natural and supernatural worlds. 

An occult thriller of darkness, power, faith and love.

"Eerily Brilliant." The Spectator

Charles Williams, who died in 1945, was well known as one of the "Inklings", the Oxford literary group which included C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. His novels have been described as thrillers with a religious and occult theme. 

Writing of Williams, T. S. Eliot said "He could have joked with the Devil, and turned the joke against him. To him the supernatural was perfectly natural, and the natural was also supernatural…this peculiarity gave him that profound insight into Good and Evil, into the heights of Heaven and the depths of Hell, which provides both the immediate thrill and the permanent message of his novels."
