A son of perdition : an occult romance

Hume’s novel uses occult motifs within a sensational fictional plot, combining mystery, moral conflict, and supernatural suggestion. It is notable as an example of late Victorian occult fiction, and readers will encounter a narrative shaped by hidden identities, esoteric intrigue, and dramatic psychological tensions.

Fergus Hume was a prolific novelist best known for crime and mystery fiction rather than esoteric writing. If included in an occult or religious catalog, it is likely through a specific title or thematic overlap rather than a sustained contribution to esoteric literature.
