The Dennis Wheatley Library of the Occult
The Dennis Wheatley Library of the Occult was a book series published in 45 volumes by the British bestselling author Dennis Wheatley for the Sphere publishing house in London between 1974 and 1977 .
The paperback volumes contained classics of fantastic literature (some of which had long been out of print) ( e.g. Hodgson's Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder , Vol. 5, or Crawford's Witch of Prague , Vol. 8), anthologies compiled by the editor, and various non-fiction books and monographs on topics of occultism , superstition and Satanism (for example Blavatskys : Studies in Occultism , Vol. 4). Even Goethe's Faust (Vol. 15) was apparently expected by the publisher to the genre.
