Setting aside the exotic action-adventure tales that were long his stock in trade, acclaimed author H. Rider Haggard explores the realm of the supernatural in the bone-chilling romance Stella Fregelius. When an eccentric inventor falls head-over-heels in love, he foresees nothing but happiness in his future. But when a tragedy tears him from his beloved, he learns that there are some bonds that are so strong that they transcend the material world.
