For those in the know “mesmerism” and “animal magnetism” had, by the time of Poe, lost most of their occult mystique. It arose from the proto-psychological work of the 18th century physician Franz Mesmer. Hypnosis itself is a somewhat mysterious psychological phenomenon. I point to Edgar Allan Poe’s The Facts In The Case Of M. Rowling didn’t invent these names in a vacuum. ![]() Rowling chose this name carefully, even pointing out that “Voldemort is pronounced with a silent ‘t’ at the end, as is common in French.” I point out that Draco Malfoy’s name too, is just as connotatively powerful.

As a metaphor for vile transgression, disease and decay few literary tropes served quite so well as a pale undead figure with a taste for human blood. ![]() Perhaps the latter view had something to do with the prevalence of another popular figure during the Victorian fin de siècle, albeit one mercifully confined to the pages of novels and short stories, namely the vampire. Viewed from a gloomier aspect however all could be seen as signs of transgression, perversity and moral and physical degeneration. ![]() Viewed from a sunny perspective all could be seen as positive signs of a new age of liberation and freedom dawning within society. The Victorian fin de siècle was an era noted for its decadents, aesthetes, dandies and New Women. ![]() ![]() It was just incredibly a lot packed into such a small time frame, and I mean I get it, it’s the Underworld so it has to operate on a different time, but still, it was hard for me to grasp the fact that hours and hours were passing by in each scene and struggle, for it all to only be in one night. The entire book takes place over the course of one night. I think it was just a little too slow, and too long, for me. ![]() To be honest, I got caught up with A LOT of other reading and simply forgot that I had started this book (I really don’t read on my kindle much), but still, I wasn’t as interested in this book as I thought I would be. If you follow me on Goodreads, you’ll notice that I started it at the end of 2018 and…… just now finished it. I have loved Mulan since I first watched it a few years ago (yea I know, I’m late to the party) so having stumbled across this fascinating concept for a retelling, I was immediately compelled to purchase it and dive in. ![]() In Reflection specifically, the twisted tale asks the question, “What if Mulan had to travel to the Underworld?” In the Twisted Tales series, we encounter Disney Princess retellings, published BY DISNEY, that ask a question that throws a wrench in the storylines of the original movies. ![]() ![]() ![]() A brilliant and wryly humorous attack on Victorian England that is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.
