The Magus is the story of Nicholas Urfe, a young Englishman who accepts a teaching assignment on a remote Greek island. There his friendship with a local millionaire evolves into a deadly game, one in which reality and fantasy are deliberately manipulated, and Nicholas must fight for his sanity and his very survival.

The Collector (1963) is disturbing, engrossing, unforgettable — the story of an obsessive young man and the girl he kidnaps and holds prisoner in his cellar.
