The Enchanted Typewriter

John Kendrick Bangs

American Literature, Humour, Novels, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

The Enchanted Type-Writer, published in 1899 by John Kendrick Bangs, is a collection of short stories that blend fantasy and humor. The narrative follows an unnamed narrator who discovers a magical typewriter that produces writings dictated by the ghost of James Boswell, now an editor in Hades. This work is notable for its whimsical exploration of creativity and the afterlife, and it is part of Bangs' Associated Shades series, which has influenced the genre of Bangsian fantasy. The stories were originally serialized in Harper's Weekly and feature illustrations by Peter Newell.
