Ghost-Seer

Friedrich von Schiller's only novel,The Ghost-seeris an experimental, deliberately fragmentary work. Thrillingly held together by its dramatic plot and lavish, operatic setting, it is a multi-layered fiction of deceptive simplicity.

And when his words prove true, this enigmatic figure develops a deeply sinister influence over them, drawing them into darker forms of "magic." As the narrative progresses, it become increasingly unclear whether the apparitions the prince sees are the manifestations of a troubled spirit world or simply an elaborate hoax.
