The Dead Man's Message

Professor Aldwyn wakes from a nap to discover that he is actually dead. During life he was a rational man of science, but he has now entered the spirit world and is forced to account for his actions on earth. In this novella Florence Marryat presents the reader with a sometimes playful, but ultimately engaging, challenge to the wider scientific community and its skepticism of the spiritual other. This new edition, edited by Dr Greta Depledge, features an introduction, contextual notes and additional material on contemporary debates.
