Clairvoyants & Seances - A Short Story Collection: Stories about peering into the future and all it's consequences, good and bad.

Written by Anthony Hope, Ivan Turgenev and Frederick Cowles

Narrated by Mark Rice-Oxley, David Shaw Parker and Richard Mitchley

Human beings are by nature very social animals. Most of us love to connect, to talk and share experiences. It’s a big world with much to do. But curiosity and grief are two situations that make some people attempt to discover more.

We are all familiar with the Ouija Board and also the thrill, or perhaps worry, that nighttime can be full of spirits who offer harm and fear, rather than comfort and solace.

In this volume we run the gamut across clairvoyants as we explore seances and all manner of experiences that come from them or of our curiosity to find out more from the spirit world, ‘the other side’. Indeed, grief motivates some people to talk with their departed loved ones through their talents. Whether they be genuine or charlatans our authors stories reveal much about the human condition from the pens of Benson, Schwob, Purves, Hope, Cowles and Jerome as well as the talents of many others.

Anthony Hope

Anthony Hope (Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins) was an English writer and playwright. Best known for his classic adventure tales The Prisoner of Zenda and Rupert of Hentzau, Hope is credited with creating the Ruritanian romance genre. Although he originally published short pieces in popular periodicals, Hope started his own publishing press because of a lack of interest in publishing his longer works. The success of The Prisoner of Zenda allowed him to give up his career in law in favour of writing full time, but his later works never achieved the same popularity as Zenda. Hope was knighted in 1918 in recognition of his work with wartime propaganda, and he continued to write steadily until his death from cancer in 1933.
