Tyranny of the Dark

Description

Dr. Morton Serviss is a promising young scientist who believes in the here and now. Viola Lambert is a beautiful young woman who is haunted, and sometimes possessed, by the spirits of those who have died. After a chance meeting, they both are about to have their perceptions challenged. <br><br> Viola longs to escape from the life of a medium, but is unable to do so. Her mother and her pastor both encourage her in her abilities, and besides, she believes that the spirits themselves will never release her. Dr. Serviss doesn't believe in spirits, but he does see the necessity of her escape from the life she is living, and he is determined to release her. - Summary by Devorah Allen<br><br> <b>THE CHARACTERS CONCERNED<br> <i>Those in the Light:</i></b><br> Viola Lambert, <i>the subject:</i> <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/4174">Availle</a><br>Mrs. Lambert, <i>her mother:</i> <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16386">Nichole James</a><br>Jospeh Lambert, <i>her step-father:</i> <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br>Anthony Clarke, <i>her pastor:</i> <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16205">James R.
