Hi all, FEELIN' SPOOKY and looking for books like the example above: A quest for a dangerous artifact that involves the church, the occult, government coverup, that sort of thing. I just watched The Ninth Gate again and am in the mood for this kind of story, setting could be anywhere in the world, but Europe is fresh in my mind right now. The only book I've come across that would fit this description is Pilgrim by Mitchell Luthi, but I haven't read it yet. Mature themed, modern day or medieval times, doesn't matter I'll take what I can get. Thanks!
Some examples off the top of my head:
– Aching God by Mike Shel (in the middle of right now)
– The Mummy (film) but with darker themes
– National Treasure (film) but with darker themes
– Pilgrim by Mitchell Luthi
– Timeline by Michael Crighton
– The Club Dumas aka The Ninth Gate (film)
– Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
