Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was an Irish writer acclaimed for his contributions to the Gothic horror genre. His works often fused elements of mystery, the supernatural, and psychological horror, influencing a plethora of writers and establishing him as a seminal figure in Victorian literature. Perhaps best known for his 1872 vampire novella, 'Carmilla', which preceded Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' by over two decades, Le Fanu's narratives typically unfold within a richly detailed Irish setting, permeated with a sense of eeriness and the uncanny. Le Fanu began his writing career as a journalist and later became the owner and editor of several newspapers, such as The Evening Mail. Despite his journalistic success, it was his fiction that would secure his literary legacy. His collection 'SHERIDAN LE FANU - Ultimate Collection' is an assemblage of his finest works, showcasing his mastery over the genre. His novel 'Uncle Silas' is another enduring classic, notable for its suspenseful plot and its intricate examination of social anxieties. In the domain of the short story, his 'In a Glass Darkly' compiles a seminal series of tales that cement his standing as a profound voice in Gothic fiction. Le Fanu's storytelling is characterized by a nuanced attention to the psychological states of his characters, the slow build-up of dread, and subtle hints at the supernatural, rather than overt horror. A literary innovator, Le Fanu inspires the likes of M.R. James and several others, contributing to the evolution of the ghost story and the horror narrative.
