Here Skale the housekeeper Mrs. Mawle and her niece Miriam have been pursuing a new science harnessing sound to discover the true names of people - and recording the uncanny phenomena and transformations that this naming ritual brings in the subject. With possibilities of mind - melding and sublime spiritual awakenings already documented it is not long before Skale pivots towards a grander master plan to intone a forbidden name beyond the preserve of humanity - while a gathering storm of disastrous cosmic consequences threatens to break. First published in 1910 but lost for most of the 20th century Blackwood's tour - de - force novel is long overdue rediscovery.
