What happens when childhood nightmares refuse to stay buried?
In 1816, E.T.A. Hoffmann crafted a tale so psychologically penetrating that Sigmund Freud would later use it as his primary example of the "uncanny" in literature. This isn't just another Gothic horror story—it's a masterpiece that anticipated modern psychology by nearly a century, exploring how trauma shapes consciousness in ways that feel startlingly contemporary.
