The Double Life (1858) is a collection of supernatural stories on the theme of dreams, glimpses into life beyond death and other posthumous experiences by Romantic author Charles Asselineau, better remembered today for his friendship with Charles Baudelaire, but also a significant pioneer in the literary development of dream materials.
It includes two remarkable items of supernatural fiction, "The Second Life" and ""The Musician's Hell", which translator Brian Stableford calls "eccentric masterpieces of the genre," as well as the experimental classic, "The Lie" (1846).
