Read an online edition of this ghost story published in 1904. This is one story in a collection of short stories by M.R. James. Obviously, Count Magnus won't keep us up at night, because we have become desensitized by modern horror. However, it is a classic and wonderful piece of literature that will only take a few minutes to read. Required reading for any fan of horror/gothic fiction or classics in general.
A brilliant piece of gothic literature! Vastly different than any pop culture idea you may have about Frankenstein. The depth of Frankenstein and his monster is beautiful, whilst horrifying. A must read for anybody. Don't rely on any Hollywood version of this story. They will get it wrong.
It's a speech she gave to Harvard graduates in 2008. You can read it in minutes. I highly recommend it. "We do not need magic to transform our world; we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already."
Anything by Alice Hoffman is going to be good. Incantation is no exception. It tells a brief story of a family of Jews during the Spanish Inquisition. It is a story of love, hate, betrayal, and loss. Worth the read and can be read in one sitting, if desired.
