Phil Syphe's Reviews > Black Magic: A Tale of the Rise and Fall of the Antichrist

Like with the other novels I’ve read by this author, “Black Magic” features numerous quality scenes with a good plot, but at times the narrative reads too slow, plus the way the syntax is mixed-up to make the dialogue more authentic is irritating. At times it’s hard to understand.

On the whole, though, this is an enjoyable read, with high suspense, good characterisation, and vivid descriptive passages. The horror and supernatural elements are handled well, though some scenes are tame compared to today’s standards.

So not a classic, but certainly worth reading.
