James's the Turn of the Screw Book

I discovered this book after reading Mitch Horowitz's excellent and highly recommended books on American occultism and the history of new thought. In particular, William Dudley Pelley, founder of the Silver Shirts, Hollywood pulp fiction writer and presidential nominee, ended up living and publishing in Noblesville, IN following his release from the Terre Haute Federal Prison for sedition. It was too intriguing not to understand the spiritual godfather of right-wing extremism and the occult that bolstered many neo-Nazis movements as well as conservative political figures who went on to serve in conservative groups such as the John Birch Society and the American Legion. I believe Aquila Press Inc. was once at 1350 S. 9th St. in Noblesville, IN; which was taken over by Melford Pearson (Pelley's son-in-law). The address is still related to children's Christian publishing. Soulcraftteachings.org is still active selling Pelley's Books including The Golden Scripts, a 900+ page book of his clairaudient channeling of higher masters. Pelley also said that Nostradamus began speaking to him in 1929 and introduced numerous famous people at the seances held at the Soulcraft headquarters, with Bertie Lily Candler serving as the medium. He died in Noblesville on July 1, 1965 and an eight foot cross was burned into the yard of the funeral home ("Birthday," 16; Noblesville Ledger, July 3, 1965). Someone should really make this story into a movie.
