Seen and the Unseen

by Richard Marsh

English· 09:06:29· 28 chapters
Is it true that people can literally be scared to death ? Is it possible to photograph astral projections ? What happens if you play with a pack of cards which belonged to a dead card-trickster ?

These and more questions are raised and answered in ''The Seen and the Unseen'' (first published in 1900), a collection of twelve short stories of a supernatural and uncanny nature by English author Richard Marsh (1857-1915), famous for such mystery/horror novels as ''The Beetle'' and ''The Goddess: A Demon''.

So if you feel you are ready for some goosebumps before bedtime, snuggle up and have a listen. - Summary by Sonia
