Publisher's Synopsis
The Mystic Theater of Doctor Xoctarius THE MAGIC AND THE MACABRE AWAIT... Deep within the city of London, there is a theater unlike any place the world has ever known; a massive mechanical auditorium in which the mysterious Doctor Xoctarious conjures fantastical visions of the past and future. More than sleight-of-hand, more than illusion, the audience is whisked away to early 20th century New Orleans, World War 2, Germany, the renaissance in Italy and even the mythical realm of Lemuria. Through the unexplainable tableaux of monsters and murder, every vision tells a story, and every story imparts valuable wisdom. But who is Doctor Xoctarious, the master of ceremonies? And what is the secret to the spectacles he presents? The New Tales of Doctor Xoctarius SIX TALES OF TERROR, WONDER and IMAGINATION. The Mystic Theater has returned, and Doctor Xoctarius is back to bring new and inspiring tales to a new generation in the modern world. Even the most jaded and skeptical audience is whisked away with the Doctor to face harrowing danger in the medieval realms of Europe and Feudal Japan, to a bleak and technology-driven future, and to the Babylonian Empire thousands of years in the past. Together, they shall confront demons both inner and literal, leave behind their every inhibition and embrace the spectacle and wonder that only Doctor Xoctarius can conjure. But behind the scenes, a struggling writer tries to piece together the truth of the Doctor's identity and the source of his power.
