Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu 2 hr 45 min read

From the casebook of the occult doctor Martin Hesselius come tales of deadly drugs, haunting familiars, and the fatal vampire Carmilla.

This is volume two of Sheridan Le Fanu's 1872 'In a Glass Darkly,' one of the greatest of all supernatural collections, home to the classic vampire novella 'Carmilla.' Subtle, chilling, hugely influential. Read it for foundational Gothic horror from a master, including the tale that shaped every vampire story since.
