| Summary | "The Mystery of the Sea" by Bram Stoker is a supernatural novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a protagonist who has arrived at Cruden Bay for an annual visit, where he encounters mysterious events tied to the concept of "Second Sight" and foreboding prophecies associated with a local seer, Gormala. The narrative blends elements of mysticism, tragedy, and the eerie relationship between life and death, setting a tone of foreboding mystery. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist as he arrives in Cruden Bay, where his attention is drawn to a gaunt old woman who seems to possess a supernatural insight. After witnessing a procession tied to the tragedy of a drowned child, he is intrigued by the woman’s cryptic warnings about death and the "Doom." As the protagonist grapples with his newfound ability to perceive omens, he becomes ensnared in a web of mystical visions regarding fate and the sea. The narrative builds a captivating tension, suggesting that the characters are caught in a larger scheme governed by unseen forces, and lays the groundwork for the unfolding mystery surrounding the sea and its secrets.
