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. Flame Tree
