  On Ghosts

  Mary Shelley

  "We all believe in ghosts, even if we say we don't."
  
  In this atmospheric and intellectually sharp essay, Mary Shelley explores the universal human fascination with the spectral world. Rather than a simple collection of scares, "On Ghosts" examines the psychological "vibration" we feel when we hear a tale of the uncanny. Shelley recounts eerie anecdotes from her own travels and social circles, questioning whether ghosts are external entities or reflections of our own inner anxieties. With her characteristic blend of haunting imagery and rational inquiry, she invites readers to consider why we seek out the very things that terrify us most.
  
  The Psychology of Fear: Shelley argues that the belief in ghosts is rooted in our deepest emotions—specifically our inability to let go of the dead. She explores the idea that the "ghosts" we see are often the products of a heightened imagination or a guilty conscience, making the supernatural a deeply personal experience.
  
  A Bridge Between Science and Spirit: Writing during a time when science was beginning to challenge ancient superstitions, Shelley positions herself as a skeptical yet open observer. She doesn't just ask if ghosts exist, but why the human soul seems to require them to make sense of the world's mysteries.
  
  A Must-Read for Horror Fans: For anyone who has ever felt a shiver down their spine in an empty room, this essay provides a profound "why." It is an essential companion piece to Frankenstein, revealing the theoretical foundations of Shelley's fictional nightmares.

  "The Descendant" is a horror story fragment by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, believed to have been written in 1927. It was first published in the journal Leaves in 1938, after Lovecraft's death. 
  The story begins with a narrator explaining that he is on his deathbed and feels the need to share a particular story before he dies. He tells of a quiet and slightly mad older man who lives in the Gray's Inn with his pet cat. The man is haggard and haunted, looking older than his years and terrified of church bells. A young man named Williams (the narrator) moves into the Inn and tries to befriend the old man and get him to share his knowledge. It is revealed that the man is Lord Northam of England. Williams' attempts are largely rebuked until one day, Williams acquires a copy of the Necronomicon, the book of the dead that captures the minds of so many intrigued by the dark arts...
