Nightmare Tales

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Madame Blavatsky is perhaps most well known as a scholar of Theosophy and co-founder of the Theosophical Society. Her studies of religion, mysticism and philosophy converges in this collection of weird fiction, stories that Blavatsky considered lighter fare compared to her usual writing. In this strange collection, you will find the story of a living ghost tormenting an ex-lover from hundreds of miles away, a revelation of a murder in a most unusual way, a tale from the far east of a seer who allows the visualization of events happening from afar, an unexplainable event from the icy wastes and a gruesome story of a violin imbued with the shrieks of the dead.
