In 1893 St. Louis, the dead were speaking, and one man held the key to the other side.Known across the country as The Great Life Reader, Jules Wallae claimed to have a gift.. Through spirit cabinets, ghostly voices, and messages from the beyond, Jules brought comfort to the grieving and left audiences spellbound. In an era when spiritualism flourished and death felt closer than ever, his abilities drew both believers and skeptics to his door.When renowned professor Alexander Tyndall arrived in St. Louis, he issued Jules a public challenge: a séance before a packed house at the Hagan Opera House, where the truth of Jules’ powers would be revealed once and for all.The night that followed became one of the most extraordinary events in St. Louis history. By dawn, the city was left questioning what they had seen, and what they were willing to believe.Based on the true story of 19th-century spiritualist Jules Wallace, The Great Life Reader is a riveting tale of belief, mystery, and the power of a man who stood between this world and the next.
