"In a Glass Darkly, v. 2/3" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a collection of stories first published in 1872. This volume presents tales from the case files of occult detective Dr. Martin Hesselius, exploring supernatural terror and psychological horror. A clergyman haunted by a phantom monkey, a sea captain stalked by a sinister dwarf, a corrupt judge facing otherworldly vengeance—each story delves into mysteries where reality blurs with nightmare. The collection includes "Carmilla," a groundbreaking vampire tale that predated "Dracula" by twenty-five years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
