Description
In a Glass Darkly (1872) is a chilling collection of five gothic tales by Irish author J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Framed as case notes of Dr. Martin Hesselius, a pioneering "psychic" detective, the stories explore supernatural phenomena and psychological horror. The most famous story, "Carmilla," is a foundational vampire tale that predates Dracula, featuring a mysterious female vampire and themes of repressed sexuality. Other stories delve into doppelgängers, haunted visions, and spectral visitations. Le Fanu blends medical rationalism with eerie atmosphere, exploring the tension between science and the supernatural. The stories are rich in suspense, ambiguity, and Victorian gothic sensibilities.
