About this book
"The carnal god by John R. Speer and Carlisle Schnitzer" is a weird‑fiction pulp horror novelette written in the late 1930s. The story centers on an occult cult in London led by a mesmerizing countess who serves an alien deity, and on the struggle to save a young woman marked for sacrificial rites. A disfigured scientist, Pierre Soret, warns Dr. Carl Fielding that his fiancée Ruth has been ensnared by the Countess Moonard’s cult of Moonere, which draws unearthly power from Sudre, a moon of a distant planet. Pierre reveals the temple’s star-glass that focuses deadly rays and an idol that becomes animate during rites. Using telepathy, a scrying “bowl,” and a counter‑ray, Pierre battles the cult from his hidden laboratory while Inspector Chadwick briefly falls under the countess’s spell.
