Uncle Silas (1864) is a macabre mystery novel and classic of gothic
horror. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 1873) was an Irish
writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was the premier ghost
story writer of the nineteenth century. In his stories the
supernatural explanation is implied, but there is always a remote
but possible natural explanation. Maud Ruthyn, the heroine of this
classic Victorian novel, recalls her fear of death, her moody
father, the grotesque Madame de la Rougierre, and the suspicions
surrounding her Uncle Silas. Uncle Silas is an extended adaptation
of his earlier short story "Passage in the Secret History of an
Irish Countess," with the locale switched from Ireland to England.
