Summary "The Phantom Hunter; or, Love After Death" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the early settlements of Kentucky and revolves around themes of justice and betrayal as it follows the wrongful punishment of Russell Trafford, who is executed for the murder of his uncle, Doctor Trafford, despite his claimed innocence. The narrative explores the intertwining lives and relationships of several characters, including the grieving Isabel Moreland, engaged to Trafford, and the nefarious Jim McCabe, who harbors ulterior motives. The opening of the novel introduces a significant event: the execution of Russell Trafford, who stands accused of murdering his uncle, Doctor Trafford, under mysterious circumstances involving a fire. The community's suspicion is fueled by circumstantial evidence, including the discovery of Trafford with an open tinder-box during the fire incident. Although the story begins with a grim and tense atmosphere as the townspeople gather for the execution, elements of love and the supernatural surface when Isabel mourns her lost love and the possibility of Trafford’s return from the grave emerges. This initial setup hints at a deeper exploration of themes like innocence, vengeance, and the hauntings of love that may lie ahead, engaging readers interested in historical romance blended with elements of suspense and potential redemption.
