THE RETURN OF THE SOUL - By Robert S. Hichens
I. Tuesday Night, November 3rd.
II. Wednesday Night, November 4th.
III. Thursday Night, December 5th.
IV. Friday Night, November 6th.
A weary narrator begins a midnight diary, hoping the act of writing will untangle the restless thoughts that have begun to plague him. He questions the value of theories and the absurdities of a certain professor, while wrestling with memories of a cruel childhood spent among merciless schoolmates. The entries are a raw attempt to bring order to a mind haunted by past misdeeds and lingering doubts.
The setting shifts to his wealthy grandmother’s old house, where a fire crackles beside a mysterious Persian cat. Though he outwardly respects his family, he feels a bitter resentment toward the matriarch who once held sway over his life. As he records these conflicted feelings, an unsettling sense that something—perhaps a forgotten part of himself—might be returning begins to surface, promising a deeper exploration of guilt, imagination, and the uneasy border between the rational and the uncanny.
