Carnivorous. Is the world ready for a raging Eros? Who can stop the angry god of love from eradicating the human race, two soulmates at a time?

Daniel Defoe ha collaborato per anni alla rivista Mist’s Weekly Journal, di cui abbiamo qui il privilegio di leggere alcuni estratti. Da sempre curioso verso l'occulto, l'autore propone, attraverso i suoi articoli, una serie di rocambolesche vicende che hanno per protagonisti degli autentici truffatori, volti a sfruttare l'autosuggestione a proprio vantaggio.

Nel racconto "Il sacerdote e l’atto smarrito" - incluso in "The History and Reality of Apparitions" (1727) - Daniel Defoe riporta una vicenda narratagli dal Reverendo John Scott (1639-1695), da lui considerato una fonte attendibile. Un medico, contattato dal fantasma di un gentiluomo preoccupato per il nipote, si trova suo malgrado ad assistere quest'ultimo nel ritrovamento di un fondamentale atto di proprietà.
