Essays in Occultism, Spiritism, and Demonology

Behind closed doors and whispered circles of the 19th century, few dared to confront the forbidden subjects of occultism, spiritism, and demonology with both scholarship and dread. Dean W. R. Harris was one of them.

In this chilling collection, Harris explores the shadowed terrain where séance tables tremble, spectral figures intrude upon waking life, and demons reveal their insidious grip upon human destiny. These essays move beyond curiosity—into the realm where faith, fear, and the supernatural intertwine, exposing the unseen powers that walk beside us.

Neither mere superstition nor idle fancy, Harris’s work reads as both warning and revelation: a careful record of manifestations, beliefs, and dark practices that shaped a century obsessed with what lies beyond the veil.
