Summary: "Stories of Intellect" by Rebecca Harding Davis et al. is a collection of literary works written in the late 19th century. This anthology features various stories that explore themes of intellect, reason, and the supernatural, showcasing the thoughts and experiences of characters who grapple with these profound concepts. Each story, created by well-known authors, evokes different emotions and challenges readers to reflect on the human experience in the context of knowledge and mystery. At the start of the featured story, "The House and the Brain" by E. Bulwer Lytton, a couple seeks a rented apartment and stumbles upon a seemingly haunted house in London. Intrigued by the tales of terror associated with it, the protagonist decides to investigate further, encountering a strange elderly woman who casually mentions the house's haunted nature and the chilling experiences of previous residents. As the narrative unfolds, a sense of dread and curiosity grows as the protagonist and his servant prepare to spend the night in the haunted abode, setting the stage for a suspenseful exploration of the unknown and the darker aspects of human thought and emotion.
