Ninety-nine (99) years in the making – the wait is over! The Cancer of Superstition is a book Houdini was writing at the time of his death with C. M. Eddy Jr. and HP Lovecraft. A week before Houdini died on Halloween of 1926, he was in communication with C.M. Eddy Jr. and was enthusiastic about the project’s completion. However, as Houdini’s condition worsened at Grace Hospital, his wife Bess sent Eddy and Lovecraft a telegram telling them to stop The Cancer of Superstition. Nearly 100 years later the COMPLETE manuscript in the archives of C.M Eddy’s grandson has surfaced!

Foreword by Sammy Cortino.

The title of the book pretty much explains what the book is all about: The dangers and history of superstition and the occult in our society.

One of the highlights of the book are the many rare Houdini photos and artifacts from the collection of David Haversat that are reproduced in full color!

If you’re interested in Harry Houdini and the occult this book is a must-read!
