Joseph Sheridan le Fanu Writer (1814-1873)

Sheridan le Fanu was a writer of short stories and novels, principally of the strange and supernatural.

He specialised in tone and effect rather than shock horror, yet to the delicate sensibility, such classics of the vampire genre as /Carmilla? can be profoundly effective. [/Green Tea]? is an equally unsettling story.

A film [Et mourir de plaisir]? (Literally "To die of pleasure", but actually shown in England as "Blood and Roses") was made of Carmilla by French director [Roger Vadim]?, with cinematography by [Claude Renoir]?; it is perhaps one of the greatest of the vampire genre movies.
