Anthony Hope & Ivan Turgenev 
Clairvoyants – Seances – A Short Story Collection 
Spirits may be benevolent, but usually reek of evil

Human beings are by nature very social animals. Most of us love to connect, to talk and share experiences. It’s a big world with much to do. But curiosity and grief are two situations that make some people attempt to discover more.We are all familiar with the Ouija Board and also the thrill, or perhaps worry, that nighttime can be full of spirits who offer harm and fear, rather than comfort and solace.In this volume we run the gamut across clairvoyants as we explore seances and all manner of experiences that come from them or of our curiosity to find out more from the spirit world, ’the other side’. Indeed, grief motivates some people to talk with their departed loved ones through their talents. Whether they be genuine or charlatans our authors stories reveal much about the human condition from the pens of Benson, Schwob, Purves, Hope, Cowles and Jerome as well as the talents of many others.A Strange Story by Ivan Turgenev The Man of Science by Jerome K Jerome Eyes For the Blind by Frederick Cowles In the Seance Room by Lettice Galbraith Mrs Morrel’s Last Seance by Edgar Jepson Spiritualism by Marcel Schwob Behind the Curtain by Gertrude Barrows Bennett writing as Francis Stevens The Spectral Hand by Jean Lorrain The House of the Black Evil by Eric Purves The Thing That Smelt by Christopher Blayre A Successful Rehearsal by Anthony Hope The Terror by Night by E F Benson
