The Lifted Veil

by George Eliot

The Lifted Veil explores themes of extrasensory perception, possible life after death, and the power of fate. The story is a significant part of the Victorian tradition of horror fiction, which includes such other examples as Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897).
