He was a novelist, poet, playwright, and politician. He coined vis mere the phrases the "pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword", and the opening line "It was a dark and stormy night".

- Edward Bulwer changed his surname to Bulwer-Lytton in 1844 at the request of his mother, and was created first Baron Lytton in 1866. He was a popular writer who coined several phrases that would go on to become clichés, including the opening line to his 1830 novel Paul Clifford, "It was a dark and stormy night." His name lives on in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, in which the contestants craft bad openings for imaginary novels.

En meget jordnær mand, hans tro og frygtløse tjener og hans tro hund flytter ind i et forhekset hus for at undersøge det nærmere. Inden længe flygter tjeneren over hals og hovede og hunden ligger død i hjørnet med halsen vredet om.
Manden kontakter ejeren af huset og de finder et skjult rum med effekter der tyder på at huset er forhekset. De finder også et billede af en mand, de har set før. Men billedet er to hundrede år gammelt og de har set manden i live. Fortælleren opsøger manden kun for at blive hypnotiseret og brugt til at forudsige mandens fremtid. Han vil leve i endnu mange hundrede år og til sidst starte en krig, der trods ødelæggelserne vil forny verden.
