Nightmare Tales

Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and human-narrated by Matthew Schmitz. In Nightmare Tales, H. P. Blavatsky presents a collection of dark supernatural stories exploring clairvoyance, occult forces, spiritual possession, prophetic visions, and the mysteries concealed beyond ordinary perception. From a haunted cavern where the dead reveal a buried crime and an enchanted violin inhabited by a tormented soul to an ageless wanderer of the polar wastes, a luminous psychic vision, and a man condemned to foresee distant tragedies, each tale confronts skeptical characters with phenomena that reason cannot explain. Blending Gothic horror, esoteric philosophy, and nineteenth-century fascination with mesmerism and spiritualism, Blavatsky portrays the unseen world as both wondrous and terrifying—a hidden realm in which human ambition, guilt, and disbelief can carry devastating consequences.
