Ghost Stories and Mysteries

Summary: The Rest of the Best
Review: Along with "Best Ghost Stories of LeFanu",also published by Dover, this completes the set of LeFanu's short stories. Although these stories tend to be a bit longer than masterworks like "Green Tea", they are every bit as worthwhile and are musts for any fan of English-Irish ghost stories. These two volumes comprise multiple collections of LeFanu's work originally published under the titles "Madame Crowl's Ghost" "In A Glass Darkly", "Golden Friars" and several previously uncollected stories. Le Fanu is right behind M.R James and right in front of E.F Benson in the ghost story writing business.
