Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–1873)
Autor de Carmilla
Sobre El Autor
The greatest author of supernatural fiction during the nineteenth century was undoubtedly J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Le Fanu was born in Dublin and, as with so many other English popular fiction authors of his time, entered the genre of fiction by way of journalism, working on such publications as the mostrar más Evening Mail and the Dublin University Magazine. Le Fanu came from a middle-class background; his family was of Huguenot descent. He graduated from Trinity College and married in 1844. After his wife died in 1858, until his own death, Le Fanu was known as a recluse, creating his ghost fiction late at night in bed. Probably he began writing ghost fiction in 1838; his earliest supernatural story is often cited as being either "The Ghost and the Bone-Setter" or the "Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh," both of which were later collected in the anthology entitled The Purcell Papers (1880). Writing most effectively in the short story form, Le Fanu's tales such as "Carmilla" (a vampire story that is thought possibly to have influenced Bram Stoker's Dracula) and the problematic "Green Tea" are considered by many literary scholars to be classics of the supernatural genre. His lengthy Gothic novels, such as Uncle Silas (1864), though less highly regarded than his shorter fiction, are nonetheless wonderfully atmospheric. Le Fanu's particular brand of literary horror tends toward the refined, subtle fright rather than the graphic sensationalism of Matthew Gregory Lewis. His work influenced other prominent horror fiction authors, including M. R. James. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Reseñas
Dickon el diablo y otros relatos extraordinarios por J. Sheridan Le Fanu
La presente edición recoge parte de su producción en el terreno de los espectros y el misterio sobrenatural, y se evidencia en ella la consideración de la naturaleza corrupta del alma humana como generadora del Mal, o de la visión del Abismo –el descenso a los infiernos o lugar de la desesperación eterna–, de manera que la deformación psicológica del hombre se convierte en putrefacción del Cosmos.
Se recoge en este volumen parte de la producción de Le Fanu en el terreno de los espectros y el misterio, donde pone de manifiesto la naturaleza corrupta del alma humana y la visión del abismo como el lugar de la desesperación eterna. Ocho relatos magníficos, a través de los cuales el genio de Le Fanu muestra su fuerza innovadora, tanto en el misterio escabroso como en el terror sobrenatural.
