Satan's garden

By E. Hoffmann Price

A woman is beaten by an assailant no one can explain, while her recurring visions seem to carry her into a luxurious yet sinister garden. In Bayonne, adventurer Glenn Farrell confronts a mystery in which physical violence and supernatural experience cannot easily be separated. The deeper he investigates, the less certain the boundary becomes between dream and reality, victim and witness, rational evidence and occult power. Behind the case lies the shadow of Hassan al Sabbah, the Ismailians and the legendary paradise used to inspire drug-induced fanaticism. Arabic manuscripts, disguises and surveillance draw the investigation into a world of coercion, assassination and contested identity, where scholarly inquiry must contend with hypnotic influence. The city's caf s and waterfront underworld provide a shifting field of observation and deception, while hidden spaces beneath the streets suggest an organisation operating beyond ordinary detection. Blending occult mystery with espionage, detective fiction and pulp action, this weird-adventure novella moves between close investigation and sudden danger. Swordplay and supernatural manipulation sharpen the central conflict: whether disciplined reason can expose forces that alter perception, command loyalty and make experience itself unreliable. Its hidden garden is not merely a destination but the disturbing focus of a mystery built upon fanaticism, secrecy and the unstable border between what is imagined and what is endured.
