Occult Fiction

Books in the occult genre are based on stories that touch on the adversaries of good, the enemies of the forces of righteousness as expressed in religious philosophy. The stories often contain, but aren’t limited to: devils, demons, demonic possession, witchcraft, sorcery, magic, necromancy, voodoo, hoodoo, and antichrist figures. The idea behind most of these stories is to show the opposite of good, to show that there is an opposing side – a darkness to counter the light.
