In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

4.0

Wonderful. Ghost stories, fantasy and horror before the genre boundaries and stereotypes were invented. I've previously read Carmilla, included in this collection, and enjoyed most of the others. My favourite was possibly Green Tea - because I love the idea that, to a 19th century Irishman, drinking green tea seemed exotic enough to induce demonic visions.

Perfect for fans of M.R. James and Weird Fiction.
