Цикл книг «Иоганн Кабал» — 12 книг

Johannes Cabal has faced down the undead, ghosts, monsters, and Satan himself. But before all that, he fought the terrifying Bonewind, a supernatural being that devours life itself, and he did it all without leaving his house. "Johannes Cabal and the Blustery Day" was the story that first introduced the necromancer of some little infamy back in 2004. Long out of print, it makes its belated return on Hallowe'en, of course.

Воспользовавшись карнавальной суетой, некромант пробрался в морг, чтобы исключительно в исследовательских целях позаимствовать у трупов кое-какие органы. И надо же такому случиться, чтобы именно в этот момент началось массовое возрождение мертвецов. Не похоже, чтобы это было случайностью.

Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, has faced many horrors during his career, but in this tale he tells of an early encounter with something that horrified even him. Pantomime.
A provincial theatre has seen a series of strange deaths. The young Cabal investigates, even though this requires him to don red tights, a curling moustache, and become... the Demon King. Back in 2006, "Exeunt Demon King" was the second Johannes Cabal story published. It has long been out of print. So, buy your wine gums and Kia-Ora in the foyer, find your seat in the dress circle, and join Cabal as he hunts the evil that haunts the Alhambra Theatre.

Многие годы Иоганн Кабал, ученый, скептик и чрезвычайно рациональный человек, работал над одной благородной целью – победить саму смерть. Для этого он заключил договор с дьяволом, но теперь хочет разорвать контракт. Сатана, удрученный бесконечной чередой грешников и чудовищной адской бюрократией, от скуки предлагает Иоганну сделку: некромант должен убедить 100 человек добровольно обречь себя на вечные муки в преисподней, иначе он будет проклят навеки. Для выполнения договора у Кабала есть ровно год и Цирк раздора в придачу, идеальная организация по отъему душ. Набрав в помощники воскрешенных мертвецов, Кабал отправляется в дорогу. Но вскоре он понимает, что выбраться из столь затруднительного положения ему будет куда сложнее, чем казалось на первый взгляд. Ведь когда у тебя нет чувства юмора, когда у твоих помощников может запросто отвалиться рука или нога посреди представления, когда общение кажется пыткой, а люди упорно не желают расставаться со своим бессмертным капиталом, управлять Цирком очень сложно. Но времени осталось немного, второго шанса у Кабала нет, поэтому придется импровизировать.

Иоганн Кабал, ученый, скептик и некромант, снова в бегах, правда на этот раз его преследуют правительственные агенты. Под чужим именем он проникает на борт "Принцессы Гортензии", пассажирского дирижабля, направляющегося в другую страну. Кабал мечтает о спокойном путешествии без всяких происшествий, но вынужденная праздность и рутина дурно сказываются на его планах. Когда на борту погибает один из пассажиров и обстоятельства его смерти наводят на мысли об убийстве, Кабал решает заняться расследованием. Замкнутое пространство, ограниченный круг подозреваемых – прекрасная загадка для скучающего человека с выдающимся интеллектом. Вскоре на Кабала совершают покушение, а потом все окончательно выходит из-под контроля. Неизбежны массивные разрушения, не говоря уже о воскресших мертвецах.

Johannes Cabal and his rather inexact powers of necromancy are back once more. This time, his talents are purchased by The Fear Institute as they hunt for the Phobic Animus - the embodiment of fear. The three Institute members, led by Cabal and his Silver Key, enter the Dreamlands and find themselves pursued by walking trees plagued with giant ticks, stone men that patrol the ruins of their castles, cats that feed on human flesh and phobias which torment and devastate. The intrepid explorers are killed off one by one as they traipse through this obfuscating and frustrating world, where history itself appears to alter. Cabal, annoyed that the quest is becoming increasingly heroic, after a shockingly violent experiment begins to suspect that not everything is quite as it seems...

Jonathan L. Howard has written several stories and novels featuring Johannes Cabal, necromancer extraordinaire. But in the tale “House of Gears,” Cabal’s expertise in the dark arts offers little help when he faces down a mad scientist with a thirst for immortality. Music boxes and robotic dogs are the vestiges of a long tradition of mechanical wonders.

Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, has this much in common with Emily Dickinson; because he could not stop for Death, she kindly stopped for him. Well, perhaps not that kindly.

What if you could see the future? What if the future could see YOU?
Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, has discovered a way to give some insights into how he should conduct his future researches; by drinking a glass of the legendary "Ouroboros Ouzo." Rare and precious, the liquor is reputed to give a once in a lifetime glimpse into what may be.

Horst Cabal has risen from the dead. Again. Horst, the most affable vampire one is ever likely to meet, is resurrected by an occult conspiracy that wants him as a general in a monstrous army. Their plan: to create a country of horrors, a supernatural homeland. As Horst sees the lengths to which they are prepared to go and the evil they cultivate, he realizes that he cannot fight them alone. What he really needs on his side is a sarcastic, amoral, heavily armed necromancer.
As luck would have it, this exactly describes his brother.

Join the brothers Cabal as they fearlessly lie quietly in bed, fight dreadful monsters from beyond reality, make soup, feel slightly sorry for zombies, banter lightly with secret societies that wish to destroy them, and—in passing—set out to save the world.*

*The author wishes to point out that there are no zebras this time, so don’t get your hopes up on that count. There is, however, a werebadger, if that’s something that’s been missing from your life

You may have heard of Johannes Cabal; he is a necromancer and a little infamous. He is also very sensitive to attempts on his life. When a murder of crows tries to... well, murder him, and the contents of his bath are transmuted into hot nitric acid, he suspects someone may mean him harm. The trail leads to one of the less travelled parts of Hell itself, and there Cabal will need a guide. As Dante had his Virgil, so Cabal employs the services of a devil who is a monster, a predator, and -- most alien of all to Cabal -- a woman. The devil Zarenyia and he delve deep into Hell, even into Satan's greatest mistake, to confront challenges quite outside the ken of any mortal. But one should always use a long spoon when supping with a devil, and Cabal soon realises the unthinkable, a horror beyond his experience. He is actually beginning to like her.

Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, has come into possession of a vital clue that may lead him to his ultimate goal — a cure for death. The path is vague, however, and certainly treacherous as it takes him into strange territories that, quite literally, no one has ever seen before. The task is too dangerous to venture upon alone, so he must seek assistance, comrades for the coming travails.

Assisted — ably and otherwise — by his vampiric brother Horst and by the kindly accompaniment of a criminologist and a devil, they will encounter ruins and diableries, mystery and murder, the depths of the lowest pit and a city of horrors. London, to be exact.

Yet even though Cabal has risked such peril believing he understands the dangers he faces, he is still underestimating them. He is walking into a trap of such arcane complexity that even the one who drew him there has no idea of its true terrors. As it closes slowly and subtly around them, it may be that there will be no survivors at all.
