  On Ghosts

  "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.

  I know this place. The room is too dim to see clearly. It smells like the bones. 
   
   
   
  Yewon dreams of a hotel. In the hotel, there are infinite keys to infinite rooms—and a quiet terror she is both eager to understand and desperate to escape. When Yewon wakes, she sees her life: a young woman, out of her job at a convenience store, trapped in the tiny South Korean village of her birth, watching her mother wash the bones of their ancestors in their decrepit bathtub. Every house has them, these rotting and fragmented ribs, tibias, and femurs, whose constant care and persistent stench serve as reminders of what they have all lost to the Forgotten War that never seems to end. 
   
   
   
  Now Yewon's brother is stationed near the North Korean border, her sister has experienced a life-changing tragedy, and her mother is overwhelmed by anxiety, her health declining. When Yewon begins to drive a local woman named Ms. Han, a mysterious and aging North Korean refugee, to visit her brother at a distant prison, Yewon's dreams intensify. As the line between reality and illusion slowly begins to blur, Yewon is led to an unsettling truth about her country's collective heritage.
