The Tyranny of the Dark Hamlin Garland 9785518438569 Books
Hamlin Garland won the Pulitzer prize for his biography "A Daughter of the Middle Border," and he was known throughout the early twentieth century as a "realist," in terms of both his writing-style and his modern views. But what many people didn't know was that, running parallel to this strain of pragmatism, was a quieter interest in the Unknown. "The Tyranny of the Dark" is a skeptic's novel about the Spiritualist movement of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. It's filled with beautiful imagery and gripping paranormal phenomena, but it loses points for its, at times, Victorian conventions. That is to say, he inserts a perfectly pointless love-story into the novel, patterned transparently after the more famous novel "Trilby," whose "Svengali" is still famous to this day.Anyone who knows who Svengali is, and how he used a girl as his proxy to fulfill his own unrealized ambitions in opera, will recognize Garland's theft--making an equally villainous Spiritualist hijack a beautiful young medium in order to fulfill his own ambitions in the world.
Other than that, though, it was a great read--all the more so, knowing that most of the material came directly from the author's famous investigations of the paranormal. Scary stuff.
