About this listen

The Devil Rides Out

Many consider it to be Dennis Wheatley's finest work, which is praise indeed for this world beating novelist. It was a huge best seller in the 1930s when it first came out, full of 1930s atmosphere, skilfully written and well researched, too - although Wheatley never practiced magic himself, he met with many of the most famous occultists of his day to make the book as authentic as possible.

In The Devil Rides Out, the Duke de Richleau and a friend find that one of their number is missing from a reunion, and it turns out that he has fallen under the influence of a black magic sect. Disbelieving at first, the Duke and his friends soon discover that magic and the powers of darkness are still alive and very real, as they fight a series of terrific earthly and occult battles to save their friend's soul.

The book was filmed in the 1960s, with Christopher Lee taking the lead role as the Duke, and he he is back in splendid form as he narrates for your listening pleasure.

This is an excellent story by Dennis Wheatley, Book One in the Author’s eleven’Black Magic’ Thrillers. Although Abridged, being Narrated or should I say Voice Acted by the Master himself Sir Christopher Lee. Lee, who played the Duc in the 1967 Horror Classic filmed by the Legendary Hammer Films.

Although Dated, written in the 1930s, you must remember that there will be some content that some people will find offensive. However this doesn’t bother me as these are Classics that no real horror fan should not avoid reading. The Preformed Narrative by Christopher Lee, is absolutely incredible. How gives you a fantastic sense of the story. Every Accent, of the characters and his deep voice is stunning. Lee makes these characters alive and nobody can call this perfect horror thriller boring. Look there are some reviewers call this Racist and offensive. Get over yourselves, these books as I’ve already mentioned were written nearly a hundred years ago. There is Suspense aplenty and thrills at every turn. Even some scares thrown in. If you’ve only seen the awesome Hammer Film, then your in for an Audiobook treat. The unabridged version of this is also available on Audible too. Which is Brilliant too. Highly Recommend 5***** Stars truly worth it.

An Absolute Classic, Brilliantly Narrated

As a life long Hammer film man the Devil Rides Out movie is one of Hammers best and one of Christopher Lee's great performances. So intrigued to hear "what was left out" as is the norm with book to movie adaptations. Hammer did a marvellous job capturing a huge portion of the book and the spirit intended. Christopher Lee is perfect for the audible reading and surprises with excellent characterisations. Overall fantastic book and well worth any horror fans time.

Masterful reading of classic satanism
