Narrative To Books The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar

This is one of the eeriest and most morbid stories I ever read from Poe. The narrator describes a mesmeric experiment on a dying man named Valdemar. The person acts in a peculiar way when in a mesmeric trance induced in the moment of death. What does the hypnotist do and how long can the mesmeric condition be sustained? The end of the story is extremely ghastly too. Nothing for the faint hearted. You really have to be a bit morbid to enjoy the action here but it is written and plotted in an excellent way. Absolutely recommend this real creeper!

Comment On Appertaining To Books The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar

Required reading for my Magic, Science & the Occult class; at first I wasn't sure why, but after today's lecture, it made more sense. The phenomena of spiritualism around this time period intertwined science with the occult in a bizarre way that fascinated pop culture in the mundane industrial progress and materialism of the times, and The Facts In The Case Of M. Valdemar, while fiction, provides a disturbing example of what happens when you play with dead people. It was more graphic than I

***WELL***........this is about as dark as a read can get!An experiment of mesmerizing a man on his death bed brings about quite a creepy and unsettling result that would definitely have me running for the nearest exit! Yikes! THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF M. VALDEMAR was first published by POE on January 3, 1845.

I love this story. It reminds me of Cool Air by Lovecraft, and with all those nasty descriptors at the end, you can definitely link the inspiration to Lovecraft's depictions of gore and ichor in his stories. It's a cool concept, not rooted in supernatural causes but tied to the pseudo-science of the day, presented as a realistic depiction of an actual event, with a whammy of an ending. Recommended.

So what can you find out about a dying man that has been hypnotized... Read and find out in this short story.

Very twisted and very good.

This gruesome tale of a man who is hypnotized on the point of death is possibly one of the earliest literary equivalents of a 'mockumentary', as many readers mistook it for a real scientific account. Thank goodness it wasn't.

I FUCKING LOVED THIS ONE. I feel like the shorter the story, the better (I mean in Poe's case, of course). This is the account of a dying man that is mesmerized and ends up being able to speak and move even after his death. Okay, pretty cool plot, right? But that is not what made me love it so much. YO, THE WRITING STYLE, THE DESCRIPTIONS, THE EERIE FEELING I GOT THAT WHEN I TURNED AROUND THE DYING GUY WAS GONNA BE THERE TO SAY HI. It is very vivid and I just loved that. I completely recommend
