Description
H. P. Blavatsky tried fiction in Nightmare Tales, a gathering of occult stories rather than doctrine. Haunted houses, possessed jewels, and karma working through lifetimes supply her plots. She wrote the tales to show Theosophical teachings in story form, letting reincarnation and hidden forces drive events instead of lectures.
The results are lurid, earnest, and, by V1 evidence, great fun. Blavatsky the storyteller is looser and stranger than Blavatsky the system builder, and the tales preserve the ghost-story atmosphere of the Victorian occult revival. Readers curious about the Theosophical movement's founder will find her imagination on display here, nightmares included, each with a moral worked into the machinery.
