MagicCon 5 | Lesung | Spiritus Daemonis | Mary Cronos & Jan Giessmann

Spiritus Daemonis is a humorous mystery horror series in which con artist Vincent and esoteric saleswoman Teresa have to deal with all kinds of ghosts, demons and other beings. Using unconventional means – and usually without a plan B – they encounter legendary figures from religion and local folklore. But they are not alone against the darkness, because a part of the underworld, seems to be interested in their work.

This time you can accompany Teresa and Vincent to a hospital where coma patients are wandering and nurses see no other way out than to contact the “Spukbusters”.

For the reading from the latest installment of the series, Mary and Jan will take on the roles of Teresa and Vincent and bring you the purest spectacle. Be there live when demons get out of control, ghosts enter the mortal world and fake priests end up prae mortal in the afterlife – twice.

Lecturer: Mary Cronos, Jan Gießmann

Duration: 60 min - The Lecture will be held in: german

Mary Cronos is creative chaos personified. Besides art and fakriro, her great passion is writing - so far in the genres of fantasy, crime and mystery-horror.

It all started with her magical parallel world Nafishur, which she writes from two perspectives at once. It continued with her publishing debut Houston Hall - Schatten der Vergangenheit, a mystery thriller that was shortlisted in the Best German Novel category of the German Fantasy Prize in 2019. Now she writes humorous mystery horror with Jan Gießmann with Spiritus Daemonis.

Just writing and having faith in the plot sums up Jan Gießmann's way of working perfectly. After all, if you already knew where you wanted to go, the journey would be boring. He regularly argues with his characters and sometimes isn't sure who is actually in charge within his books. With Der Orden der Geweihten, he created a dark world around the elite fighter Cilana. The Beastseller, on the other hand, pursues the not at all exaggerated goal of permanently changing the way fantasy stories are read and experienced. One has to remain realistic for a change!
