The Return of the Soul

By Robert S. Hichens and Robert Smythe Hichens

A young man inherits a grand estate in Cumberland after the death of his grandmother-but he also inherits a terrible secret. Years earlier, as a cruel and calculating boy, he committed an act of unspeakable violence against his grandmother's beloved white Persian cat, an act witnessed by no one yet somehow known to the creature itself.

Now a grown man with a beautiful young wife, he finds his comfortable life shattered when a distinguished professor shares disturbing theories about the transmigration of souls. As strange events unfold and an inexplicable presence seems to haunt his home, the man must confront an impossible question: Can the soul of a murdered creature return to exact its revenge? This chilling tale of guilt, obsession, and supernatural dread explores the darkest corners of the Victorian psyche.
