First published in 1912, this vintage book deals with the subject of death, with a particular focus on spiritualism, a religious movement based on the belief that spirits of the deceased exist and are able to communicate with living people.

His focus was telepathy, and among his subjects were many of the most well-known cases of ostensibly psychic ability of the time. Carrington wrote over 100 books on related subjects during his life. Other notable works by thus author include: 'The Physical Phenomena of Spiritualism' (1907), 'The Coming Science' (1908), and 'Eusapia Palladino and her Phenomena' (1909).
