The Coming Race is an 1871 novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, reprinted as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race. Among its readers have been those who have believed that its account of a superior subterranean master race and the energy-form called "Vril" is accurate, to the extent that some theosophists, notably [[Helena Blavatsky]], William Scott-Elliot, and Rudolf Steiner, accepted the book as being (at least in part) based on occult truth. A popular book, [[The Morning of the Magicians]] (1960) suggested that a secret Vril Society existed in pre-Nazi Berlin.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vril Vril]</ref> | The Coming Race is an 1871 novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, reprinted as Vril, the Power of the Coming Race.
