The Shadow World

The Shadow World by Hamlin Garland is about Mr. Garland and his friends as they debate the existence of the supernatural. Excerpt: "A hush fell over the dinner table, and every ear was open and inclined as Cameron, the host, continued: "No, I wouldn't say that. There are some things that are pretty well established—telepathy, for instance." "I don't believe even in telepathy," asserted Mrs. Quigg, a very positive journalist who sat at his right. "I think even that is a mere coincidence."
