The Gothic Tales of Sheridan Le Fanu (British Library Hardback Classics)

Sheridan Le Fanu was lauded by contemporaries such as M.R. James for his innovations in the ghost story and mystery genres, and his mastery of conjuring atmosphere and driving stories to thrilling narrative crescendos. This anthology focuses on some of his lesser-known stories, exploring eight thoroughly Gothic tales of murderous families, dark castles, and ghosts whose business with the living remains unfinished.
