Beschreibung

Delving into the eerie and the uncanny, "60 Supernatural Tales of Horror" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu presents a rich tapestry of Gothic fiction that intertwines the supernatural with the psychological. Encompassing a selection of his most notable works'Äîincluding the groundbreaking novella "Carmilla," which precedes and influences the modern vampire mythos'Äîthis anthology showcases Le Fanu's masterful command of atmosphere and tension. His literary style is marked by elaborate descriptions, immersive settings, and deeply developed characters, allowing readers to experience the chilling essence of the supernatural within the confines of Victorian society. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) has earned his place among the luminaries of horror fiction. A Dublin-born author raised in a culture steeped in folklore and superstition, his works often reflect the tensions of a transforming society grappling with Enlightenment ideals and traditional beliefs. Influenced by his own experiences and literary predecessors, Le Fanu adeptly navigates themes of hauntings, madness, and moral ambiguity, offering profound insights into the human psyche and the spectral world beyond. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of Gothic literature and horror, as it not only provides a historical context for the genre but also exemplifies the intricate interplay between fear and fascination. Whether you are a seasoned reader of ghost stories or a newcomer intrigued by the supernatural, Le Fanu'Äôs chilling tales will linger long after the final page, beckoning you into the shadowy realms of his imagination.

    Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. While Hope's performing a palm reading, a local doctor, Dylan Henshaw, bursts in, accusing them of trying to kill his patient with a tincture. The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of the sisters' grandmother, Gram, who announces that one of her friends has died suddenly. It looks like a simple allergic reaction…but why has a solitary Tarot card—the Fool—been placed on the body? When another of Gram's friends dies in similar circumstances, with the Fool card also left at the scene, it's surely no coincidence. Although Hope is hesitant to read the Tarot again following a recent tragedy, she might be the only one capable of deciphering the clues. Can she overcome her fear and uncover the card's meaning before the killer strikes again?
