    5.0 out of 5 stars Robert Hugh Benson takes the existence of the invisible world very seriously
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2017

    The strength of Mgr Robert Hugh Benson's novels is a very Catholic one -- he takes the existence of the invisible world very seriously. Though these are works of fiction they are clearly based on a priest's experience of the war between good and evil that rages all around us. I'm sure Mgr Robert Hugh Benson would hope that reading these novels will wake up each soul to their place in this violent spiritual battle.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Spooky, but Plausible
    Reviewed in the United States on 11 September 2021

    R.H. Benson's name is forever associated with the masterful "Lord of the World," which, as near as I can determine, is the earliest instance of a "steampunk" world (his volars, his "news placards," the euthanasia machine with its floral design). This one occupies a far different world, one which is terrifying in a different sort of way. Here the subject matter is possession, exorcism, the mystic's flash of insight.

    Salient throughout these stories, though, is Benson's own skepticism about "spiritualism", and mysticism as a whole. The encounters in these stories are offered to our eyes through Benson's own cautious filter. We are constantly asked to evaluate the capacity for recollection and recall of the various narrators, almost as though Benson were an attorney offering commentary on the witness's veracity and exactitude of memory.

    This is not to gainsay their power or capacity to entertain -- they are striking, both for their precision of detail, and the aura of real terror (in the "moral" sense, not the "shock" sense) that pervades them.
