In a Glass Darkly by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Le Fanu was facinated by the occult, and his writings draw on the gothic tradition, Irish folklore and the social and political anxieties of his Anglo-Irish contemporaries. These tales focus on the unease of those who encounter the supernatural rather than on the origin or purpose of the visitant.
Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish writer of gothic tales, mystery novels and ghost stories, most famous for his novel Uncle Silas. Carmilla was first published in 1872 and has served as an inspiration countless books, from Bram Stoker's Dracula and Henry James' The Turn of the Screw to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and a slew of films such as Hammer Horror's Karnstein Trilogy.
