In a Glass Darkly (The Collected Works of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu)

This remarkable collection of stories, first published in 1872, includes Green Tea, The Familiar, Mr. Justice Harbottle, The Room in the Dragon Volant, and Carmilla. The five stories are purported to be cases by Dr. Hesselius, a 'metaphysical' doctor, who is willing to consider the ghosts bothas real and as hallucinatory obsessions. The reader's doubtful anxiety mimics that of the protagonist, and each story thus creates that atmosphere of mystery which is the supernatural experience. This new annotated edition includes an introduction, notes on the text, and explanatory notes.Le Fanu, J. Sheridan is the author of 'In a Glass Darkly (The Collected Works of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu)' with ISBN 9780405092169 and ISBN 0405092164.
