Joseph Conrad On The Supernatural
When Joseph Conrad’s *The Shadow-Line* was first published in 1916, several critics noted that the novella was a fantasy because in it the previous captain’s ghost is apparently haunting the ship.

He noted that the world “contains enough marvels and mysteries as it is… I am too firm in my consciousness of the marvelous to be ever fascinated by the mere supernatural.” Here’s an excerpt from Conrad’s Author’s Note: “This story, which I admit to be... more »
