"I know there is a God-a dreadful God-and that retribution follows guilt." - "The Watcher" For the first time in over 150 years, "The Watcher", Le Fanu's classic tale of supernatural menace, is reissued from the pages of the Dublin University Magazine along with its original companion piece "The Fatal Bride", a brooding gothic novella not reprinted since its first publication in 1848. Like matched duelling pistols, Reminiscences of a Bachelor offers the most exquisite balance of craftsmanship, beauty, and peril. In these tales of Old Dublin, honour is ever at stake, the fate of lovers lies mired in the past, and something even worse than deceit stalks the streets, something just as deadly to the soul as it is to the flesh.

Autorenporträt
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was born in Dublin on 28 August 1814. Though he worked as a journalist and owned several newspapers, he is now best remembered for his pioneering tales of the psychological and supernatural such as "Schalken the Painter", "Green Tea", and "Carmilla". His notable novels include The House by the Church-yard (1863) and Uncle Silas (1864). Le Fanu's seminal short story collection In a Glass Darkly was published in 1872, less than a year before his death on 7 February 1873.
