Later edition. Octavo, cloth. New introduction by Elizabeth Bowen. THE HOUSE BY THE CHURCH-YARD is one of "four sensation novels [written by Le Fanu] that are the best of their kind .

"The pages of the novel are crimsoned in gore with seasonings of hauntings, apparitions, and brooding menace. There are connoisseurs of the ghostly who put it first among Le Fanu's works." - Tymn (ed), Horror Literature 2-61. Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction, p. 115.

First U.S. edition. Issued as volume 276 in Harper's Library of Select Novels. "This novel by Le Fanu satirizes the table-rapping and spiritualism that were so often staples in sensation fiction of the author's day. And it is interesting to note that Le Fanu, the great creator of Victorian horrors, was able to laugh at what is generally presented with considerable seriousness." - Tymn (ed), Horror Literature 2-57. Library label of the North Chelmsford Library Association affixed to front paste-down, small label and pocket removed from rear endpapers, small erasure to margin of title page (probably a library shelf number), else no markings to text block, internally sound and quite clean.

Octavo, pp. [i-vii] viii [1] 2-432, original decorated dark green cloth, front and spine panels stamped in gold, publisher's monogram stamped in blind on rear panel. First one-volume edition. First published as a 36-part serial in ALL THE YEAR ROUND, 21 January 1871 to 23 September 1871, and first published as a book by Chapman and Hall in 1871. "One of the most interesting of Le Fanu's novels, THE ROSE AND THE KEY concerns Maud Vernon, whose mother commits her to an asylum when Maud is not mentally ill. A study of human avarice and terror, Maud becomes the victim of an alienist, Dr. Antomarchi . The characterization of Dr. Antomarchi and the realistic and believable study of the asylum give a particular horror to the novel. Le Fanu may have been influenced by Wilkie Collin's THE WOMAN IN WHITE. However, Le Fanu creates his own genuine study of human weakness and cruelty." - Gary William Crawford. "There is much in the novel that recalls Charles Reade's treatment of a somewhat similar theme in HARD CASH, and it is hardly necessary to say that the most stirring episodes concern the awful experiences of Maud Vernon at Glarewoods . Like a surgeon who discovers a curious beauty in some physical abnormality he is called upon to remove, Le Fanu seizes on these scenes of horror and no matter how his story may have dragged in the preceding chapters he warms to the occasion with a renewed zest. Every nerve must be thrilled, each harrowing circumstance must be related, and the episode is presented to the excited reader with a kind of cold frenzy." - Nelson Browne. Hubln (1994), p. 493. Early private owner's bookplate affixed to front paste-down. A hint of rubbing to cloth at spine ends and corner tips, mild bumps to upper corner tips, a bright, very good or better copy. Very scarce in this condition. (#156343).

Octavo, three volumes: pp. [i-v] vi-xxxi [xxxii] [1] 2-236; [1-4] [1] 2-273 [274: blank]; [1-4] [1] 2-289 [290: blank], nineteenth-century three-quarter burgundy leather and marbled boards, all edges stained red. First edition. A collection of Le Fanu's early stories reprinted from THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE, selected, with memoir, by Alfred Perceval Graves, including "Strange Event in the Life of Schalken the Painter" and twelve other tales. "Less refined [than the tales collected in IN A GLASS DARKLY (1872)] but equally powerful are the earlier tales published posthumously in THE PURCELL PAPERS (1880), an ingeniously organized work that collects the papers of Father Purcell, a priest whose parish was decidedly unholy." - Tymn (ed), Horror Literature 3-140. These early tales "date from the late 1830's and deal with a wide variety of themes, not all of which are supernatural . The best of Le Fanu's earliest work is 'Schalken the Painter' (1839). In this story Le Fanu removes the action from a Gothic setting to a more intimate, domestic sense of place. The story is a gruesome account of Rose Velderkaust's marriage to a ghoul, and the story contains themes developed in Le Fanu's more mature ghostly fiction." - Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature IV, p. 1600. "A Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family," the short form of THE WYVERN MYSTERY, is believed to be a source for Charlotte Bronte's JANE EYRE (1847). Le Fanu was "one of the most important and innovative figures in the development of the ghost story. Author of 'Green Tea' (1869), 'Carmilla' (1871-1872), and numerous other ghostly tales that have had an incredible influence on the genre; regarded by M. R. James, E. F. Bleiler,and others as the most skillful writer of supernatural fiction in English." - Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural. pp. 257-62.
