Joseph Sheridan le Fanu Writer (1814-1873)

Born in Dublin, Sheridan le Fanu was the great-nephew of the playwright [Richard Brinsley Sheridan]?.

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. Carmilla was to greatly influence Bram Stoker in the writing of Dracula. [/Green Tea]? is an equally unsettling story.
