Edward Bulwer-Lytton is an author who has attracted his fair share of ridicule. He did, after all, start a novel with the words, “It was a dark and stormy night.” I read one of his short stories recently, and was surprised to find that it was actually extremely good. The story was “The Haunters and the Haunted”. Has anyone read anything else of his? I’m especially interested in opinions on his novel “Zanoni”, which supposedly deals with Rosicrucianism.
