In A Glass Darkly

Contemporaries of Sherlock Holmes, the occult detectives were Victorian- and Edwardian-era investigators concerned with all manner of psychic, spectral and paranormal matters, eager to separate reality—no matter how bizarre—from hoaxers and con men.

In this volume, esteemed German physician Dr. Martin Hesselius relates five tales, encompassing the apparition of a beastly creature only its witness can see to the unholy revenant inhabiting the form of a youthful girl, a story that pre-dates Dracula by 25 years.
