"In a Glass Darkly, v. 3/3" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a collection of stories published in 1872. Presented as papers from occult detective Dr. Martin Hesselius, these five Gothic tales explore supernatural horror and mystery. A clergyman is haunted by a phantom monkey. A sea captain faces a sinister dwarf stalker. A cruel judge receives otherworldly justice. An Englishman falls into a deadly trap in France. And in "Carmilla," one of literature's earliest vampire stories, a female predator stalks her victim in Austria. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
