  Madam Crowl's Ghost & Other Tales of Mystery is a collection of twelve of the finest stories from a master of psychological suspense. Le Fanu's pedigree in this genre is undoubted; his novella Carmella inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, amongst others; and he is regarded as the father of the Irish gothic style. As consistently unsettling as they are rewarding, the pleasure with which his stories of the supernatural have been read and re-read has made Le Fanu's reputation all the more darkly glittering over time. This collection is a fine example of the best and most frightening of visions that the author has to offer.
