Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was the leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as âabsolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost storiesâ. Three of his best-known works are Uncle Silas, Carmilla and The House by the Churchyard. In addition to M. R. James, several other writers have expressed strong admiration for Le Fanuâs fiction. E. F. Benson stated that Le Fanuâs stories âGreen Teaâ, âThe Familiarâ, and âMr. Justice Harbottleâ âare instinct with an awfulness which custom cannot stale, and this quality is due, as in The Turn of the Screw, to Le Fanuâs admirably artistic methods in setting and narrationâ. Benson added, â best work is of the first rank, while as a âflesh-creeperâ he is unrivalled. No one else has so sure a touch in mixing the mysterious atmosphere in which horror darkly breedsâ. Jack Sullivan has asserted that Le Fanu is âone of the most important and innovative figures in the development of the ghost storyâ and that Le Fanuâs work has had âan incredible influence on the genre; regarded by M. R. James, E. F. Bleiler, and others as the most skillful writer of supernatural fiction in English.â

About: There were tenants at last in Malory; and the curiosity of the honest residents of Cardyllian, the small and antique town close by, was at once piqued and mortified by the unaccountable reserve of these people.
