Although
Pharos, The
Egyptian and
The Lady of
the Island
are overtly supernatural works, Boothby's work following the
adventures of The Dr. Nikola novels are only marginally
supernatural -- the villain is in search of immortality throughout
the five-book series and possesses occult knowledge and skills.
The non-series title, Curse of the Snake, is a novel about the evil
influence that a snake has on those who own it.
