Unread. Beautiful boards. Edited by Jim Rockhill.
SYNOPSIS: “Blending psychological unease with spectral dread, Le Fanu’s tales probe the shadows that lurk just beyond the light of your lamp, where reason falters in the shadows and the uncanny takes hold.
This volume gathers some of Le Fanu’s most celebrated works. At once atmospheric and psychologically insightful, Le Fanu’s ghost stories are not mere entertainments, but explorations of fear, conscience, and the uncanny forces that taint human experience. This is an essential showcase of the talents of one of the great Gothic storytellers.
