Description

In a Glass Darkly is a masterful collection of supernatural tales that will keep you up late at night. Written by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, these five stories draw on the Gothic tradition and Irish folklore to create an atmosphere of unease and mystery. The author's fascination with the occult and his reclusive habits have led to some truly spine-chilling reading. The focus is on the terror experienced by those who encounter the supernatural, rather than its origin or purpose. This makes for a deeply unsettling experience that will keep you guessing until the end. This edition of In a Glass Darkly has been carefully collected and presented by Oxford World's Classics, with expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies to provide a rich reading experience.
