The Diamond Lens

Listen to The Diamond Lens by Fitz-James O’Brien, a strange and imaginative tale of science, obsession, and the hidden worlds beyond ordinary sight.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy early science fiction, gothic literature, psychological obsession, strange tales, and classic short fiction.
