A collection of five short stories, presented as selections from the posthumous papers of the occult detective Dr Martin Hesselius, 'In a Glass Darkly' (1872) was published a year before Le Fanu died.

Probably the collection's most famous story, about a female vampire, 'Carmilla', will leave your spine tingling with the fear that someone is watching you!
