The Phantom Hunter; Or, Love After Death

Edward Sylvester Ellis

The Phantom Hunter; Or, Love After Death is a historical novel by Edward Sylvester Ellis, written in the late 19th century. Set in the early settlements of Kentucky, it follows Russell Trafford, wrongfully executed for the murder of his uncle, Doctor Trafford, amidst a backdrop of betrayal and love. The narrative intertwines themes of justice, unrequited love, and supernatural elements, as Trafford's fiancée, Isabel Moreland, grapples with her grief and the possibility of his return from the grave. This work reflects the complexities of frontier life and the moral dilemmas faced by its characters.
