The stage is set, and the graves are dug — the graves of John Sinclair and his friends, that is! The Black Death has prepared his most elaborate scheme yet, paving the way to the all-deciding battle in the Graveyard at the End of the World. With the help of Suko and Will Mallmann, John must sneak into East Germany, where in a mountain of witches lies the team’s last hope: the Book of Nightmares, the key to the Black Death’s demise. If only it were so easy to take. With his friends being abducted one by one into an ancient world filled with horrors and nightmares, John had better hurry. The final battle is drawing near, and only one shall face their final slumber, but will it be John Sinclair or the Black Death?

In the darkest corners of Paris, shadows have begun to stir. Peculiar creatures have arrived to take back Belphegor’s land! When John Sinclair wakes in the basement of the Louvre, he must fight for his life or meet a traumatising fate — to be shrunk and trapped for the entertainment of his greatest nemesis! If only his friends could save him... Will Mallmann, meanwhile, takes a well-deserved break in the Bavarian Forest, but not even the dead will let him rest. The team had better be prepared for one hell of a ride — be it involving walking skeletons, a joyous wedding, or a terrible tragedy.

In John Sinclair’s line of work, the lines are blurred between supernatural cults and organised crime: both lead to extensive violence and upset the peace. When the two combine into a force threatening to upheave London’s underworld, Sinclair has to team up with a new partner to prevent the Black Dragon from rising in more ways than one. The aftermath brings equally little peace, as Sinclair’s new fling finds herself targeted by dark forces as well. Can he save her without betraying all he holds dear?

John Sinclair’s life is many things, but boring is not one of them. When an archaeological expedition ends in a series of questionable deaths, Sinclair’s old friend Bill Conolly begins to investigate. If one set of deadly digs wasn’t enough, an expedition in Yorkshire unearths a vampire graveyard with bloody consequences – including for Sinclair himself. Will he survive his own death and undeath, or wind up as part of a ghoulish banquet alongside the dregs of London?
