Sinopse

In "The Greatest Gothic Novels of Edward Bulwer-Lytton," the reader is invited into a labyrinth of psychological intrigue and supernatural horrors that define the essence of Gothic literature. Bulwer-Lytton masterfully weaves together elements of romance, mystery, and the uncanny, creating a tapestry that reflects the complexities of 19th-century society. His compelling narrative style, characterized by rich descriptions and atmospheric settings, invites readers to explore the darker aspects of human nature, symbolized by his intricate characters and haunting backdrops. As a formative figure of the Gothic genre, Bulwer-Lytton's works, including the memorable "Zanoni" and "The Haunted and the Haunters," resonate with the tensions of Enlightenment thinking colliding with Romantic imaginings. Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a prominent Victorian novelist, politician, and playwright, emerged during a time of significant social and cultural transformation. His own life experiences, marked by a fascination with the esoteric and the exploration of psychological depth, fuel his literary imagination. Bulwer-Lytton's brush with occult themes and his engagement with philosophical discourses about the nature of existence further inform the profound moral questions embedded in his works, revealing both imaginative storytelling and intellectual rigor. This anthology is an essential read for aficionados of Gothic literature and newcomers alike. It not only showcases Bulwer-Lytton's adept narrative style but also serves as a critical reflection on societal anxieties of his time. Through these novels, the reader will traverse the shadowy realms of the human psyche, making for an enthralling exploration of fear, love, and the supernatural.

    Megan is a thirteen-year-old teenage girl, who realises that she has psychic powers that others do not have. At first, she tried to talk to her mother about them, but with disastrous consequences, so she learned to keep quiet about them. 
    However, some people do offer to help and an animal showed a special friendship, but they were not `alive` in the normal sense of the word. They had passed on. 
    Megan has three such friends: Wacinhinsha, her Spirit Guide, who had been Sioux in his last life on Earth; her maternal grandfather, Gramps and a huge Siberian tiger called Grrr. 
    Wacinhinsha is extremely knowledgeable in all things spiritual, psychic and paranormal; her grandfather is a novice `dead person` and Grrr can only speak Tiger, as one might imagine and most of that, of course is unintelligible to humans. 
    In `Megan`s Father Falls Ill`, Megan is concerned about her father`s health, because she has never seen him ill before, so she decides to try using her psychic powers to cure him. In the end, she uses a combination of her gifts and the Internet to discover ways to help him recover. 
    Wacinhinsha gives her a lecture on medicine and its application, especially from the Spiritualist point of view.
