Servants Of The Supernatural: The Night Side Of The Victorian Mind By Antonio Melechi

Posted at 2:40PM Wednesday 19 Mar 2008



Servants Of The Supernatural: The Night Side
Of The Victorian Mind By Antonio Melechi
ISBN: 9780434013340

The only real surprise in Antonio Melechi's book is that he felt it necessary to write it. The stories he tells here may have once seemed beguilingly strange, but now they are like old friends, trotted out in the many fine books on the subject which have appeared since Alex Owen's landmark study, The Darkened Room (1989).
