About this book
In The Land of Mist, Arthur Conan Doyle turns his celebrated thriller instincts toward the paranormal, plunging readers into the fevered post‑war fascination with séances, mediums and the promise of life beyond death. Narrated by Edward Malone and anchored by the irascible scientist Professor Challenger, the novel stages a gripping clash between sceptical inquiry and heartfelt longing as characters pursue evidence, encounter uncanny phenomena, and wrestle with grief and belief. Equal parts atmospheric mystery and earnest philosophical debate, it offers a provocative, emotionally charged journey that invites you to question what proof and consolation mean—without ever surrendering its sense of wonder.
