Visible and Invisible

"Visible and Invisible" by E. F. Benson is a collection of chilling stories from the early 1900s, examining the intersection of life and death through supernatural phenomena. The narrative introduces Sir James Horton, a solitary physicist on the verge of breakthroughs regarding the very nature of life and the possibility of bringing back the dead. As the main character meets Horton, the reader discovers his unusual science, like using a gramophone connected brain fragments to capture voices of the deceased. The story starts with a calm yet frightening mood and leads readers to a world of horror and wonder.
