Nightmare Tales

Russian-born Helena Blavatsky was a fascinating figure who is best remembered as the creator of the spiritual tradition known as Theosophy. She undertook (and successfully completed) the ambitious task of synthesizing the whole of the world's religious traditions and distilling the timeless wisdom contained therein into a series of moral and ethical principles. Along the way, she dabbled in fiction writing, as well. This volume collects some of Blavatsky's mystery and ghost stories, which tend more toward psychological suspense than gore.
