Nightmare Tales

About this book

A violin seems to possess a life of its own. A mysterious cave promises shelter and hides something stranger. A gleaming shield appears where it should not. In these stories, small discoveries can overturn everything the characters think they know.

H. P. Blavatsky's five stories turn occult interests into episodes of danger, mistaken identity and inexplicable encounters. An unusual object or a chance discovery opens the door to a much less familiar world. She allows the mystery to develop through the action, showing a different side of the writer best known for her Theosophical works.
