Wherefore it is peculiarly well suited to goblinries and weirdnessess of all kinds; and plays in which ghosts figure are the favourite subject.-from 'Of Ghosts and Goblins'In 1889, Westerner Lafcadi...

  • Clarimonde by Theophile Gautier, Fiction, Classics, Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology
    Theophile Gautier / Lafcadio Hearn
    From that night my nature seemed to have become halved -- and there were two men within me, neither of whom knew the other. At one moment I believed myself a priest who dreamed nightly that he was a gentleman -- at another, that I was a gentleman who dreamed he was a priest. I could no longer distinguish the dream from the reality, nor could I discover where the reality began o...

  • Some Chinese Ghosts
    Lafcadio Hearn
    I think that my best apology for the insignificant size of this volume is the very character of the material composing it. In preparing the legends I sought especially for weird beauty; and I could not forget this striking observation in Sir Walter Scott’s 'Essay on Imitations of the Ancient Ballad': 'The supernatural, though appealing to certain powerful emotions very widely a...
