Reviews

Le Fanu's In a Glass Darkly is one of the landmark works of Victorian Gothic. It contains some of the greatest ghost stories ever written, and in 'Carmilla' one of the most important vampire tales. Elizabeth Tilley's brilliant new edition is the best one we've ever had, and it takes us closer to Le Fanu's collection than we've ever been before. With its wonderful introduction and its superb selection of critical and contextual material, this book has everything a serious reader needs. -- Darryl Jones, Trinity College Dublin
