The Return of the Soul

Description

Can the soul return after death to haunt the ones who tormented it during its lifetime? This is one question that metaphysicians and parapsychologists have explored for centuries, as well as one that Robert Smythe Hichens attempts to solve through his chilling horror novel, The Return of the Soul.

The story revolves around the life of a young man whose grandmother passes away at the beginning of the story, and is later, apparently, reincarnated in the body of a young woman whom he ends up marrying.

During the time he had taken care of his grandmother, prior to her death, the frustrated young man had taken out his negative emotions on his grandmother’s cat which shortly died as well after the elderly woman had passed on.

When he takes his young wife back to his inherited home, the same manor which belonged to his departed grandmother, the past seems to return to haunt both of them, as the young woman slowly descends into a state of shock and terror. After a chilling and suspenseful turn of events, it seems that he is unable to escape her any longer, and it soon becomes apparent that the soul of his grandmother has returned to take revenge.

If you enjoy suspenseful horror stories, this is one story you shouldn’t miss. The Return of the Soul explores the deeper realms of psychology and the subconscious, while presenting an engaging plot that will keep you at the edge of your seat every moment you read through it.

The story presents the strong link between the present and the past that often tends to follow us in real life, just as well as in stories. It also explores deep and meaningful concepts about the nature of the soul and the source of what could prompt departed souls to return even after their death.
