4.0 out of 5 stars gripping potboiler, 27 Feb 2008

By	Mark Wallace (West of Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ka of Gifford Hillary (A Black Magic Story) (Paperback)

Dennis Wheatley was a hugely popular writer during his long career from the 1930's to the 70's but is now almost forgotten. For me, though, he wrote effortlessly gripping novels, of which this is a good example. The protagonist is to all intents and purposes dead for most of the novel, but his incorporeal soul, or ka, remains earthbound and gets up to all sorts of mischief in his efforts to alert the living to his predicament. As usual, Wheatley works interesting occult ideas into the story, and the plot is well worked out and fast-paced, though as it was written at the height of the cold war there is an occasionally intrusive propaganda element, various disparaging remarks about left wing politics, and a somewhat idealised depiction of Upper-class English manhood.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Prince of Thriller writers, 8 July 2008

By	Mrs. Judith Lugg (Wolverhampton, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Ka of Gifford Hillary (A Black Magic Story) (Paperback)

A great book, albeit the style is rather old-fashioned for our time ; nevertheless, it is an excellent tale with a gripping plot. I read this book many years ago, along with all of Wheatley's ( and they are ALL excellent) and I am now happy to say that they are now being re-printed, for another generation of readers.
Wheatley was excellent at potraying the arch villan and the dark side of human nature; anyone who reads this will love it. I highly recommend it.
