| Summary |
"The White Invaders" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novella written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Bermuda and follows characters, particularly Don and Bob, who encounter supernatural occurrences involving ghostly figures that materialize from a fourth dimensional realm. The narrative promises a blend of adventure, mystery, and the escalating tension of an impending otherworldly invasion. The opening of the novella introduces us to the three main characters—Don, Bob, and Jane—who are intrigued and frightened by reports of ghostly apparitions in their area. They set out to investigate a sighting described by a young local boy named Willie, leading to their first encounter with one of these ghostly figures. The scene is charged with suspense, blending the eerie atmosphere of a moonlit night with growing tension as they realize the creatures not only seem real but pose a potential threat. As the story unfolds, they are drawn deeper into the mystery and menacing intentions of the so-called "White Invaders." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
