Publisher's summary

A magician is planning to take over the world. He thinks his enemies are among the living...

When Lester Furnival and her friend Evelyn die in a plane crash, they find themselves walking through a ghostly, surreal, twilight London. The scandalous magician Simon Leclerc has sacrificed his own child to gain control over this world - and the next. As Lester and Evelyn discover what has happened to them, they are pulled in different directions - one toward isolation and despair, and the other toward a sacrificial self-giving that, to her great surprise, saves even her.

All Hallows’ Eve is Charles Williams’ final novel - poignant, relevant, and chilling. Along with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Williams helped form The Inklings, a society of writers in Oxford, England who changed the world with their mythopoetic vision.

Timeless, All Hallow’s Eve is a Classic

I was put onto this story by the Humphrey Carpenter Inklings book. I must sadly admit at first I thought Charles Williams to be the lesser of the inklings or not quite as notable as his peers I am glad to have been corrected of my misjudgment. This is my first of CW’s works but it will most definitely not be my last. All Hallows Eve will become a yearly reread for Halloween as the Father Christmas letters by JRR Tolkien are for Christmas.

Thank you Charles Williams,
Thank you David Pickering,
And Thank you audible

I enjoyed the program

That is a wonderful and weird novel about occult magic. It explores Christian values and beliefs. The reader's performance is great. I'm glad to own all the Williams novels audiobooks. They are worthy of being listened to many times.
