Literature is a privileged space that allows us to experience death. We therefore intend to explore fantastic tales from the 19th century that reflected the fictionalization of experiences that made it possible to question the mysteries of death. We will demonstrate that, throughout human history, man's relationship with death and the rituals surrounding it have undergone significant transformations. Victorians, more incisively, began to deny death, seeking in medical and scientific advances a prolongation of their existence. On another front, these same individuals sought to experience death even more intensely, but without putting themselves at risk, merely exploring what might lie on the other side through literature. Their expressive desire to escape death and, in its impossibility, to deny it by proposing a parallel world in which its inexorable approach is not the end, but a transition, will be identified in the supernatural manifestations present in the stories studied, which were written by authors who have been marginalized by oblivion. Thus, it is also our intention to update their names in contemporary times.
