All Hallow's Eve(Annotated)

Lester Furnival doesn't realize she's dead. Not yet, anyway. Waiting for her husband on the Westminister Bridge in London, Lester suddenly discovers that both her and her friend Evelyn, have already died in a grisly plane accident not too long ago. Terrified, and deeply lonely, the two women start to wander around London. Trouble ensues, when they meet up with Simon, a necromancer who is interested in the two dead women to be his acolytes - and wants to use black magic to make it happen.Charles William's book is beautifully written, and is full of theological and philosophical meditation. Originally published in 1945, William's book featurs a post-war London that is collectively putting itself back together following the second world war.
