In A Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu
4.0

What a fab collection of stories! My favourite was "The Room in Le Dragon Volant", but each of these is a gem! If you're a fan of gothic horror, it's a must read!

Also very interesting was "Carmilla", the precursor to [b:Dracula|17245|Dracula|Bram Stoker|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387151694l/17245._SY75_.jpg|3165724], which showed quite surprising similarities to the better known vampire story, and must have been an inspiration to Stoker when he wrote his about 25 years later.
