Synopsis
In a Glass Darkly is a collection of five different tales, presented as selections from the posthumous papers of the occult detective Dr. Martin Hesselius. The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "through a glass darkly". "Green Tea" - An English clergyman named Jennings confides to Hesselius that he is being followed by a demon in the form of an ethereal monkey, invisible to everyone else, which is trying to invade his mind and destroy his life. Hesselius writes letters to a Dutch colleague about the victim's condition, which gets steadily worse with time as the creature steps up its methods, all of which are purely psychological. T "The Familiar"- A sea captain, living in Dublin, is stalked by "The Watcher", a strange dwarf who resembles a person from his past. "Mr. Justice Harbottle" - A cruel judge in the Court of Common Pleas, Elijah Harbottle, finds himself under attack by vengeful spirits, and in a disturbing dream he is condemned to death by a monstrous doppelgänger. The story is set between 1746 and 1748 "The Room in the Dragon Volan" - notable mystery story, in 26 chapters, which includes the theme of premature burial. "Carmilla"- A tale of a lesbian vampire, set in Styria, Austria. This story was to greatly influence Bram Stoker in writing Dracula. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 – 1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was a leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as "absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories".

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In A Glass Darkly is a seminal collection of mystery and horror stories that showcases Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's mastery of Gothic literature. Published in 1872, this anthology includes notable tales such as 'Green Tea' and 'The Familiar, ' which illustrate Le Fanu's skillful weaving of psychological depth and supernatural intrigue. Renowned for his atmospheric prose and elaborate characterizations, Le Fanu explores themes of duality, madness, and the complexities of the human psyche within a Victorian context, leaving readers grappling with both existential dread and the allure of the uncanny. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, an influential figure in the development of the Gothic genre, was deeply rooted in Ireland's rich literary tradition. His own experiences with folklore and post-Celtic revival sentiments undoubtedly informed his narrative style, allowing him to create chilling yet poignant tales that resonate with universal fears. Le Fanu's legacy as a precursor to writers like Bram Stoker and H.P. Lovecraft solidifies his place in literary history, making this collection an essential study for enthusiasts of horror and psychic phenomena. I wholeheartedly recommend In A Glass Darkly to readers seeking an insightful exploration of the human condition through the lens of horror. With its intricate plotlines and chilling atmospheres, this collection not only entertains but also invites contemplation on the darker corners of humanity, establishing Le Fanu as a master of the genre.
