Sinopsis

A landmark collection of supernatural and psychological fiction, In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu presents a series of haunting narratives that explore the boundaries between reality, perception, and the unknown. Blending mystery, Gothic atmosphere, and early psychological horror, the work offers some of the most influential tales in the tradition of classic supernatural literature.

The collection is presented through the case files of a fictional investigator, whose records document strange occurrences, unexplained phenomena, and disturbing human experiences. Each story gradually reveals unsettling truths about fear, guilt, obsession, and the fragile nature of the mind.

Le Fanu's mastery lies in his ability to evoke dread through suggestion rather than spectacle. His writing builds atmosphere through subtle detail, psychological tension, and an ever-present sense of uncertainty, drawing readers into worlds where the ordinary becomes deeply uncanny.

In a Glass Darkly remains one of the most important works in Gothic and supernatural fiction, admired for its pioneering approach to psychological horror and its lasting influence on later generations of writers in the genre.

    Hundreds of years ago, Antoine's noble ancestor was responsible for the death of a dark wizard, Michel Mauvais. The wizard's son, Charles le Sorcier, swore revenge on not only him but all his descendants, cursing them to die on reaching the age of 32. 
    The protagonist recounts how his ancestors all died in some mysterious way around the age of 32. The line has dwindled and the castle has been left to fall into disrepair, tower by tower. Finally, Antoine is the only one left, with one poor servant, Pierre, who raised him, and a tiny section of the castle with a single tower is still usable. Antoine has reached adulthood, and his 32nd year is approaching. 
    His servant eventually dies, leaving him completely alone, and he begins exploring the ruined parts of the castle. He finds a trapdoor in one of the oldest parts. Below, he discovers a passage with a locked door at the end. Just as he turns to leave, he hears a noise behind him and sees that the door is open and someone is standing in it. The man attempts to kill him but Antoine kills him first. His dying words reveal that he is none other than Charles, who actually managed to successfully fabricate the elixir of life, enabling him to personally fulfill the curse generation after generation.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Shot down and hunted across the dead Martian city of Illar, the outlaw Northwest Smith crouches in the ruins with nothing but his ray-gun and his steel-pale stare – until a woman of impossible beauty, white-skinned and purple-haired, beckons him through an unseen doorway into a twilit world that should not exist. There, among a fearful little people, stands the Tree of Life: an ancient, hungering horror called Thag, whose unbearable song lures every living thing into its waiting branches. The woman is its priestess, and Smith is the offering. To break free he must do what no captive of Thag has ever done – resist a music older than Mars, woven by a god that bent space itself to cage its prey.
