Description

A Stable for Nightmares, by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, is an exemplary example of Gothic literature that explores the subliminal elements of human psychology in an effort to uncover our innermost fears. The narrative centres around a mysterious stable and its strange inhabitants, which Le Fanu employs as a metaphor to subvert traditional notions of morality and justice.

Author

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873) was an Irish master of Gothic fiction whose spectral tales raised the ghost story to a literary art. Carmilla preceded Dracula by a quarter-century and helped define vampire fiction; Uncle Silas sealed the locked-room inheritance thriller.
