Uncle Silas: A Tale of Bartram-Haugh


Book Description

Silas Rutvyn is something of a riddle. To some, including his niece, he is something of a ghost. As Le Fanu gradually unfolds the layers of this story, we are irresistibly drawn into his world. There are, however, no simple answers. Le Fanu, whose writing inspired such classics as Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', is a masterful storyteller, and this work does not disappoint. From the writer of such works as 'Through a Glass Darkly' and 'The House by the Churchyard', this eerie and chilling tale is one of the finest examples of his art.

Passage in the Secret History of an Irish Countess


Book Description

This is one of Le Fanu's earlier stories. Set in Ireland, it is written as though le Fanu was a priest named Purcell, it contains all the ingredients of the classic Gothic horror story. The countess is known only as Countess D. All we know about her at first is that her family and the family into which she married, are now entirely extinct.
