Black Magic - a Tale of the Rise and Fall of the Antichrist by Marjorie Bowen ~ Full Audiobook [horror]

Black Magic - a Tale of the Rise and Fall of the Antichrist by Marjorie Bowen audiobook. Genre: horror Set in medieval Europe, Black Magic follows a talented but restless woodcarver in a northern French town who begins his days gilding a figure of the Devil and ends them studying forbidden arts. Drawn to secret texts, whispered rituals, and the promise of knowledge without limits, he makes a deliberate step into the occult - and discovers that power, once touched, demands to be pursued. His rise carries him far beyond his workshop into a world of ruthless nobles, shifting alliances, and a Church whose spiritual authority is inseparable from politics. Along the way, desire and devotion tangle into dangerous attachments, and acts of violence and deception spread like a stain through courts and cloisters alike. As rumors of witchcraft and sacrilege multiply, the cost of ambition becomes impossible to ignore: every gain invites a darker bargain, every victory creates a new enemy, and the line between human will and supernatural influence grows frighteningly thin. Part Gothic nightmare, part historical intrigue, Bowen's novel builds a tense struggle between temptation and conscience, and between the hunger for dominion and the possibility of grace.
