Book Description
This is a collection of eight ghost stories, written by the remarkably prolific husband and wife team of Claude and Alice Askew, centering on Aylmer Vance, an investigator of the supernatural. Dexter, the narrator, meets Vance during a fishing holiday and Vance tells him three ghost stories on successive nights, each story involving Vance more closely in the action. The fourth story brings Dexter himself into the action, and reveals him to have unsuspected clairvoyant powers. The remaining stories feature Vance and Dexter as a sort of Holmes-and-Watson team investigating incidents not all of which prove to have supernatural causes. The final story, "The Fear" is very effective, describing a house in which a general feeling of extreme fear grips the inhabitants at various times and locations; the emotion of fear is effectively evoked and an interesting tale is constructed as Vance and Dexter work to assign the fear "a local habitation and a name".

The Ghost-Seer; or the Apparitionist; and Sport of Destiny

Book Description
Friedrich Schiller's 'The Ghost-Seer; or the Apparitionist; and Sport of Destiny' is a captivating novel that delves into themes of the supernatural, fate, and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Written in the late 18th century, this Gothic tale showcases Schiller's skillful storytelling and his mastery of creating suspenseful and eerie atmospheres. The novel explores the consequences of meddling with the supernatural and the dangers of playing with forces beyond human understanding. With its emphasis on the power of destiny and the consequences of one's actions, 'The Ghost-Seer' stands out as a classic of German Romantic literature. Friedrich Schiller, a prominent figure of the German Enlightenment, was known for his philosophical writings and plays that challenged societal norms. His interest in exploring the human psyche and the supernatural likely inspired him to write 'The Ghost-Seer,' adding depth and complexity to the narrative. I highly recommend 'The Ghost-Seer' to readers who enjoy Gothic literature, philosophical themes, and compelling narratives that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
