The Light Invisible (1903)

Benson’s first published work is a collection of interconnected short stories often characterized as “supernatural fiction”.  Out of print for nearly a century, many authorities rate this as “recommended reading.”

The author’s brother, A. C. Benson (an author in his own right), remarked of the present volume, “The Light Invisible always seemed to me a beautiful book. It was the first book in which he spread his wings, and there is, I think, a fresh and ingenuous beauty about it, as of a delighted adventure among new faculties and powers.”

The Light Invisible is “specially recommended” in Rev. John Hardon’s Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan, one of the few works of fiction featured in that guide.
