Master of modern occultism, Lon Milo DuQuette, (author of Enochian Vision Magick and The Magick of Aleister Crowley) introduces the newest Weiser Books Collection - The Magical Antiquarian Curiosity Shoppe. Culled from material long unavailable to the general public, DuQuette curates this essential new digital library with the eye of a scholar and the insight of an initiate. New York in the future, military dictatorship, institutionalized suicide, and public "Lethal Chambers." The madness continues. Picking up where the first installment left off, and introducing the concept of alchemy, The Mask is a rosy-blushed cameo of nineteenth century science fiction at its most romantic and genteel--a perfect bonbon to savor with your bedtime brandy.

Here, we learn the sad and romantic tale of his death.
Not only is the young man a sculptor, but a chemist/inventor, it seems. He has come up with a solution which will turn whatever is placed in it to stone. At first, his experiments create 'stone' lilies and goldfish... but when we discover that he's filled up his home's pool with the solution, it's not hard for the reader to foresee that trouble is soon to come.
On top of that, the narrator is, admittedly, in love with the sculptor's wife. Yep. Trouble.
