Sheridan Le Fanu Horror Stories: Gothic Fantasy

Autor Sheridan Le Fanu Cuvânt înainte de Jarlath Killeen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 noi 2025
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was a highly influential Irish author, born in Dublin, whose work spread across the English-speaking world, where his impression can be found in the stories of Wilkie Collins, M.R. James, Bram Stoker and many others. Although trained as a lawyer, he became a writer of sensational literature, exploring the dark and fantastic, becoming one of the foundational purveyors of classic horror ghost stories, including his famous early work of vampire fiction Carmilla. His father was Richard Sheridan, playwright of The Rivals and The School for Scandal. This new collection of Le Fanu's stories, with a new foreword, is a must-read selection of classic writing.

Descriere

New collection of the master of early Victorian gothic, horror and ghost stories. Le Fanu's influence on a later generation of horror writers is clear, from vampire story ‘Carmilla’ informing fellow Irishman Bram Stoker's Dracula some 20 years later to the styling of many of M.R. James's finest work. A must-read selection of classic writing.
