The second volume of an eight book collection from 'the grandfather
of the ghost story'
Whilst many highly regarded writers have created collections of
strange and supernatural fiction and several other authors are now
primarily known for their literary efforts within this genre, the
author of this large collection surely stands alone. Not only is
his body of supernatural and gothic fiction extremely substantial,
he wrote ghost and horror fiction if not exclusively then certainly
as the subject matter of the overwhelming majority of his
considerable literary output. His authorship of novels and stories
of the other worldly began from the first part of the nineteenth
century making him one of the earliest specialist exponents of the
genre in the 'modern' period. He is widely regarded as a master of
his craft, and it is certain that once he had set out to create a
thrill or chill in the minds of his reader one was sure to follow
J. Sheridan Le Fanu was without doubt the premier writer of ghostly
fiction during the Victorian age and his influence on the genre can
be seen in the work of his peers and those who followed after. An
Irishman, in 1861 Le Fanu became the editor of the 'Dublin
University Magazine' and this gave his fiction ready access to the
public. 'The House by the Churchyard' and 'Wylder's Hand' were
originally published in the magazine. This special Leonaur edition
of Le Fanu's weird and supernatural fiction runs to 8 substantial
volumes and is possibly the most comprehensive collection of his
work yet assembled. It includes his highly regarded novels and a
plethora of shorter works designed to provoke fear and horror among
his dedicated aficionados.
This volume contains the novel Uncle Silas, the novelette Green
Tea and five short stories: Ghost Stories of Chapelizod; Ghost
Stories of the Tiled House; Haunted; Jim Sulivan's Adventures in
the Great Snow and Laura Silver Bell.
All volumes are available in softcover and hardcover with dust
jacket for collectors. Leonaur hardcovers feature real cloth
bindings, gold foil lettering on their spines and head and tail
bands.
