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.»
