The Hypnotic Experiment of Dr. Reeves, and Other Stories
by Charlotte Rosalys Jones
About the author
Very little biographical information about this author appears to be readily available in reliable online sources. What can be confirmed is that Charlotte Rosalys Jones published The Hypnotic Experiment of Dr. Reeves, and Other Stories in 1894, and that this is the work most consistently associated with her in major public-domain and library catalogs.
Booksellers' and library records describe that 1894 volume as her first and only known book. The stories are generally linked with late-Victorian popular fiction, especially psychological suspense, hypnotism, and unusual emotional or moral conflicts.
Because so little else is clearly documented online, Jones remains a somewhat mysterious figure. That scarcity of information is part of her appeal today: readers encounter the work almost on its own terms, as a rediscovered collection from the fringes of fin-de-siècle fiction.
