The Night-Side of Nature; Or, Ghosts and Ghost-Seers

(2.9 stars; 15 reviews)

The stories in Volume 1 centre on dreams, psychic presentiments, traces, wraiths, doppelgängers, apparitions, and imaginings of the after-life. Crowe's vivid tales, written with great energy and imagination, are classic examples of nineteenth-century spiritualist writing and strongly influenced other authors as well as providing inspiration for later adherents of ghost-seeing and psychic culture. - Summary by Cambridge University Press (17 hr 39 min)

Critiques


(2.5 stars)

a large collection of anecdotes and thoughts about the supernatural very few satisfying stories although all were well read by the readers thanks to them. rather tedious dry and boring content for the most part.
