Sheridan Le Fanu & August Nemo 
7 best short stories by Sheridan Le Fanu 

Le Fanu worked in many genres but remains best known for his horror fiction. He was a meticulous craftsman and frequently reworked plots and ideas from his earlier writing in subsequent pieces. Many of his novels, for example, are expansions and refinements of earlier short stories. He specialised in tone and effect rather than ‘shock horror’, and liked to leave important details unexplained and mysterious. He avoided overt supernatural effects: in most of his major works, the supernatural is strongly implied but a ‘natural’ explanation is also possible.

– Green Tea
