Description

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Ghostly Tales: The Mysterious Lodger is a text which engages with the concept of the supernatural in order to explore ideas of the uncanny and to interrogate prevailing notions of morality. As such, it presents a narrative which is imbued with a sense of ambiguity, creating tension by blurring the boundaries between the natural and supernatural realms.

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.
