About the Book
Amos Kilbright His Adscititious Experiences With Other Stories is a novel that blends fantasy with social commentary, exploring the surreal circumstances of a man who returns to life after having been a spirit for over a century. The story is narrated by an attorney who becomes intrigued by this unusual character’s sudden reappearance in the physical world. As the man reveals his struggle with his new reality and the dangers posed by spiritualists seeking to remove him from the material world, a deeper examination of identity and personal freedom unfolds. The narrative explores what it means to adapt to a world that has drastically changed, confronting the complex emotions and challenges of existing in a time that no longer recognizes him. The novel also delves into the role of spiritualism, focusing on how it intersects with the human desire for understanding and control. As the story progresses, the protagonist's journey is marked by a quest for belonging and the search for a place in a world that seems both alien and familiar. The story invites readers to reflect on life, death, and the transformation between the two states.
Frank Richard Stockton was an American author who lived from April 5, 1834, to April 20, 1902. He is best known for a set of unique children's fairy tales that were very popular in the last few decades of the 1800s. Stockton was born in Philadelphia in 1834. His father was a famous Methodist preacher who told him he shouldn't become a writer. He and his wife went to Burlington, New Jersey, after getting married to Mary Ann Edwards Tuttle. That's where he wrote some of his first books. They then moved to New Jersey's Nutley. He worked as a wood carver for many years until his father died in 1860. He went back to Philadelphia in 1867 to work as a writer for a newspaper that his brother had started. His first fairy tale, "Ting-a-ling," came out in The Riverside Magazine that same year. In 1870, he released his first collection of stories. In the early 1870s, he was also the editor of the magazine Hearth and Home. He went to Charles Town, West Virginia, around 1899. He died of a brain bleed in Washington, DC, on April 20, 1902. He is buried at The Woodlands in Philadelphia.
