The Witch of Prague
F. Marion Crawford
Book Overview:
The Wanderer is looking far and wide for the love of his life, Beatrice. Try as he may, he cannot find her again. Appealing to a witch might help, but instead of using her powers to help the lovers find one another again, Unorna keeps them apart as much as possible. Will there be a happy end?

"It is of no use to talk in that way," said Unorna, haughtily. "I am not prepared to be deceived by your comedy this time."
"Nor I to play one. Since I have offended you, I ask your pardon. Forgive the expression, for the sake of the meaning; the thoughtless word for the sake of the unworded thought."
"How cleverly you turn and twist both thoughts and words!"
"Do not be so unkind, dear friend."
"Unkind to you? I wish I had the secret of some unkindness that you should feel!"
"The knowledge of what I can feel is mine alone," answered Keyork, with a touch of sadness. "I am not a happy man. The world, for me, holds but one interest and one friendship. Destroy the one, or embitter the other, and Keyork's remnant of life becomes but a foreta. . . Read More

This is essentially two books: a collection of his short stories, and the novel-length Witch of Prague. You probably might not want to read the whole thing straight through, although doing so does set it all in a sort of context. Francis Marion Crawford's horror is often redemptive (characters saved
Man searches world for the woman he loves, gets to Prague and falls under the spell of a hypnotist/witch. Truth and good finally prevail.

The short story "Man Overboard" is great and a few others such as "The Doll's Ghost" are worth reading. The novel The Witch of Prague has a fascinating story but is marred by overripe prose, cartoonish characters, pretentious philosophizing, and wild anti-Semitism.
Do you want some really good horror stories?
Well, presuming for just a moment that you want horror stories, then obviously you’re going to prefer really good ones to rubbish ones, aren’t you? And that being the case, then I have the man for you.
F. Marion Crawford was apparently a successful writer i
