Disillusioned by fraudulent séances, a traveler befriends the world-famous Professor Delapine, who commands powers of science and spirit that stagger belief.

G. Lindsay Johnson's 1916 novel is an atmospheric blend of hard-SF speculation and supernatural horror. Earnest, imaginative, of its era. Read it for a curious Edwardian tale where a brilliant scientist probes the boundaries of life, death, and the spirit world, mixing genuine scientific enthusiasm with séance-room wonder in a strange, ambitious period romance.
