Katabasis

R440.00

On the surface; this is a love story between two scholars descending to hell to return their professor to the mortal plane, so that he can write them both a recommendation letter for jobs once they graduate, but it is so much more! This novel brings together the academic atmosphere of Babel with the pacing of Yellowface. This was a wonderful excursion into masterful research that turns fictional writing into neophilosophy. A glorious exploration of not just logical thinking, but also magical structure and eschatology.

Katabasis

Grad student Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become the brightest mind in the field of analytic magick.

But the only person who can make her dream come true is dead and – inconveniently – in Hell. And Alice, along with her biggest rival Peter Murdoch, is going after him.

But Hell is not as the philosophers claim, its rules are upside-down, and if she’s going to get out of there alive, she and Peter will have to work together.

That’s if they can agree on anything.

Will they triumph, or kill each other trying?
