A rumor that buries the gaudy silhouette of historical mansions in the night: “There are fairies in that mansion!” And it is precisely through the door opened by this fear that a young officer steps through – a young officer who does not sacrifice his intellect to superstition, but rather intends to sacrifice superstition to his intellect…

In The Haunted Mansion, Omer Seyfettin inserts a witty humor into the fog that shrouds the Bosphorus shores of Ottoman Istanbul. Mr. Süheyl’s ingenious scheme to achieve his dream of a “cheap” rental makes the reader both laugh and think: Does man rule his fears, or do his fears rule man?

Seyfettin’s vivid descriptions, combined with the moonlight hitting the sparkling waves, the mysterious clicks and the steps echoing in the narrow corridors of the mansion, gradually escalate the tension. But behind this ‘haunted’ tale lies a sharp satire of social purity and the power of reason.

The Haunted Mansion is an unforgettable story where superstition and rationality dance fiercely. If you dare, pull back the curtain; perhaps the real mystery lies not in haunted rooms but in the dark recesses of the human mind.
