But another book that I'm currently in the middle of, and have been for a while, is Lives of the Necromancers by William Godwin. It's a funny little book with short biographies of a ton of (often just rumored) historical magic users, not at all confined to the realms of necromancy, despite the title.
Some of the stories are familiar, some of them strange, some of them have been downright surprising, like how Pythagoras was said to basically have been a vampire.
It's old, and digital copies are free at gutenberg.org.
That sounds cool.
