About The Sorcery Club

"The Sorcery Club" by Elliott O'Donnell is a novel set in the early 20th century. The story centers around Leon Hamar and his companions, Kelson and Curtis, who are struggling with poverty in San Francisco and eventually become entangled in the practice of sorcery after discovering a mysterious book about Atlantis and its dark arts. At the start of the novel, we meet Leon Hamar, who seeks shelter in a second-hand bookstore during a rainstorm and inadvertently acquires a book that leads him to explore his dire circumstances further. He encounters his destitute friends, Curtis and Kelson, who are also in desperate need of food. While discussing their situation, they become intrigued by the book's claims about Atlantis and its sorcery, which sparks Hamar's ambition to form a "Sorcery Company" with his friends. As they delve into the book's secrets, they explore the tests to unlock occult powers, setting the stage for a gripping journey through the supernatural intertwined with their dire desire for fortune and survival.
