Sinossi

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.

    "Of course we are aliens how could I not believe in us?" said the not-so-human Blake.

    Though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is best known for his detective stories, he also wrote other short stories which are masterpieces of mystery and suspense. In some of the stories, a suppressed uneasiness gradually builds up and evolves into sheer horror; in others, the story line unexpectedly changes and comes to an unexpected conclusion.  In "The New Catacomb," deceit and terror are buried in the deep recesses of an Roman archeological find.
