Produktbeschreibung
In a Glass Darkly is a collection of five short stories, presented as posthumous papers of cases of the ¿metaphysical¿ doctor Dr. Martin Hesselius. First appearing in ¿Green Tea,¿ originally published in 1869, Dr. Hesselius became one of the first literary occult detectives. J. Sheridan Le Fanu often made revisions to his work and re-released several under new names, including two from In a Glass Darkly: ¿The Familiar,¿ a revised version of ¿The Watcher,¿ published in 1851, and ¿Mr. Justice Harbottle,¿ a revised version of ¿An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street,¿ published in 1853. Most notably, this collection includes what is likely Sheridan Le Fanüs most famous work, ¿Carmilla.¿ A young countess turned vampire, Countess Mircalla uses the anagram of her name, Carmilla, to disguise herself in order to prey on unsuspecting young women. ¿Carmillä would heavily influence Bram Stoker¿s Dracula, which would later become the prototypical vampire archetype.

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (28 August 1814 ¿ 7 February 1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales, mystery novels, and horror fiction. He was a leading ghost story writer of his time, central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories. Three of his best-known works are the locked-room mystery Uncle Silas, the lesbian vampire novella Carmilla, and the historical novel The House by the Churchyard.
