เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish writer esteemed for his gothic fiction, including mysteries and horror tales that have riveted readers for over a century. His contributions to the genre have often been linked to his Huguenot ancestry and the ghostly legends of Ireland, weaving the supernatural with a keen insight into the anxieties of his era. One of his most notable collections, ‘THE PANIC ROOM: 30+ Ghost Tales by Sheridan Le Fanu’, showcases this mastery, intertwining chilling narratives with a psychological depth that was ahead of its time. Le Fanu’s storytelling displays a literary style that is both ornate and evocative, frequently employing an epistolary form and an atmosphere of suspense and fear. His portrayal of haunted landscapes and tormented psyches has bestowed upon him the title of ‘father of the English ghost story’, a mantle he shares with the likes of M.R. James. Perhaps best known for his novella ‘Carmilla’, which predates Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’, Le Fanu significantly influenced the vampire genre and gothic literature as a whole. Le Fanu’s legacy lives on in the echoes of his prose, which continue to haunt the corridors of gothic literature and inspire new generations of horror aficionados.
