Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graves and Goblins (+Biography and Bibliography) (Matte Cover Finish): Now talk we of graves and goblins! Fit themes, start not! gentle reader, fit for a ghost like me. Yes; though an earthclogged fancy is laboring with these conceptions, and an earthly hand will write them down, for mortal eyes to read, still their essence flows from as airy a ghost as ever basked in the pale starlight, at twelve o'clock. Judge them not by the gross and heavy form in which they now appear. They may be gross, indeed, with the earthly pollution contracted from the brain, through which they pass; and heavy with the burden of mortal language, that crushes all the finer intelligences of the soul. This is no fault of mine.
