Nightmare Tales is a collection of short horror stories by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a renowned occultist and founder of the Theosophical Society. The book features six eerie tales that explore the darker side of human nature and the supernatural. The stories are set in different locations, from a haunted house in London to the desolate wilderness of Siberia, and feature a diverse cast of characters, including ghosts, demons, and otherworldly beings. The themes of the stories range from the consequences of greed and selfishness to the dangers of dabbling in the occult. Blavatsky's writing style is atmospheric and evocative, creating a sense of unease and tension throughout the book. Nightmare Tales is a must-read for fans of horror and the occult, and a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most influential figures in esoteric philosophy.The world knows H.P. Blavatsky chiefly by her encyclopedic knowledge, her occult powers, her unique courage. This little book, composed of stories thrown off by her in her lighter moments, shows her as a vivid, graphic writer, gifted with brilliant imagination. The Nightmare Tales were rewritten during the last few months of the author's pain-stricken life: when tired with the drudgery of the Theosophical Glossary she, who could not be idle, turned to this lighter work and found therein amusement and relaxation. Her friends, all the world over, will welcome this example of gifts used but too rarely amid the strain of weightier work. Contents: The Bewitched Life; The Cave of the Echoes; The Luminous Shield; From the Polar Lands; The Ensouled Violin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
