The Magician (booklet series)
The magician - from Dan Shocker's chamber of horrors was a 1982 to 1983 in the magic circle-Verlag published horror - Heftroman series .
The concept came from Werner K. Giesa , who was also the main author of the series. Other authors were Kurt Luif , Rolf Michael , Uwe Anton and Uwe Voehl . The series was edited by Jürgen Grasmück , known under the pseudonym Dan Shocker . Because of the subtitle "from Dan Shocker's chamber of horrors" readers assumed that Grasmück the author of the books behind the pseudonym Erik van X was. When Grasmuck announced that it was not the author, sales fell.
The idea of the series was to make the readers believe that these are authentic cases of Roy de Vos - the "magician" - that are documented in the booklets. However, this concept was not carried out.
The issues appeared every two weeks. The price of the booklet rose from DM 1.60 at the beginning to DM 1.70 at the end. The series was discontinued after 34 staples.
