The Academy Outside of Ingolstadt

The Academy Outside of Ingolstadt

Oliver Liebeskind
4.8/5 ( ratings)
On the eve of the Great War, a young man is sent away from home to spend a two-year period in an exclusive boarding school outside of Ingolstadt. What he’s done to merit his selection is a mystery to him, yet his family life is less than ideal and he finds himself drawn to the unfamiliar rigors of the Academy. The school maintains a pretense of nobility, and yet the teachings are perplexing and obscure, the rules and regulations only partially revealed, and the methods of instruction are replete with unexpected perils. By way of stealth, adversity, provocation, and deception, the novitiate is compelled to face a treacherous ordeal that very nearly leads to his undoing.

Several decades later he returns to the school, taking a position as a member of the faculty. As the secrets of his past are gradually unveiled before him, he finds himself once more upon the precipice of an abyss. After a final revelation, he comes at last to comprehend the true nature and extent of the Academy’s teachings.

The Academy Outside of Ingolstadt is a scintillating homage to the works of Robert Walser, Octave Mirbeau, and Aleister Crowley.

With artwork by Sascha Schneider and Illustrations by Oliver Liebeskind.

A major novel for the contemporary weird / occult literature.
