      Book Overview

      Edited by M.R. James In 1888 Henry James wrote 'There was the customary novel by Mr Le Fanu for the bedside; the ideal reading in a country house for the hours after midnight'. Madam Crowl's Ghost & Other Stories are tales selected from Le Fanu's stories which mostly appeared in The Dublin University Magazine and other periodicals, and their haunting, sinister qualities still have an enormous appeal for the modern reader. The great M.R. James, who collected and introduces the stories in this book, considered that Le Fanu 'stands absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories.'

      A visionary genius

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This is the perfect introduction to one of the most famed writers in the history of horror literature. LeFanu was the first to perfect the ghost story as a literary form and at one time was considered the greatest writer of supernatural fiction ever to live. Since then his reputation has shrunken. But he still enjoys a high reputation as the 19th century's most horrific author (after Edgar Allen Poe.) None of the stories...
