(3.86) | 28 | Regarded as the Victorian era's greatest writer of ghost stories, J. Sheridan LeFanu (1814-73) gave expression to the fears and dread that often haunt sensitive individuals. This collection contains four of his finest ghost stories, each crafted with remarkable ingenuity and storytelling skill. The title story offers a petrifying account of an English cleric's bouts with a malignant spectral presence; ""Squire Toby's Will"" recounts a sibling rivalry and disputed inheritance; ""The Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh"" concerns a country gentleman's mysterious relationship with a sinister valet; and ""Sir Dominick's Bargain"" presents LeFanu's masterly variation on the theme of a pact with the devil.All four tales embody not only the suspense and terror expected of a ghost story but also a subtlety, awareness, and psychological depth that elevate them far above most efforts in the genre. This inexpensive edition provides gripping entertainment as well as an excellent introduction to the intelligence and imagination that characterize LeFanu's work.… (mehr) |
