Synopses & Reviews
Madam Crowls Ghost & Other Tales is a collection of 12 of the finest stories from a master of psychological suspense. Le Fanus pedigree in this genre is undoubted; his novella Carmella inspired Bram Stokers Dracula, among others, and he is regarded as the father of the Irish gothic style. As consistently unsettling as they are rewarding, the pleasure with which his stories of the supernatural have been read and re-read has made Le Fanus reputation all the more darkly glittering over time. This collection is a fine example of the best and most frightening of visions that the author has to offer.
