In a Glass Darkly e-bok

In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu is a collection of supernatural tales that plunge readers into a world of mystery, horror, and psychological intrigue. Set in the eerie landscapes of nineteenth-century Europe, these haunting narratives explore the darker aspects of human nature and the supernatural forces that lurk just beyond the realm of perception. From the chilling tale of a haunted English country house in »Green Tea« to the enigmatic story of a sinister doppelgänger in »The Familiar,« Le Fanu's stories are infused with a sense of creeping dread and mounting suspense. In »Carmilla,« readers encounter the beguiling yet malevolent figure of a female vampire who preys upon the innocent, blurring the lines between desire and danger. JOSEPH SHERIDAN LE FANU [1814-1873] was an Irish mystery and horror author. He had an enormous influence on the horror genre in the 19th and 20th century, especially through his championing of tone and effect rather than shock factor. Among his most noted work is the lesbian vampire novella Carmilla [1872] and mystery Uncle Silas [1864].
