About the Book

Demons, vengeful spirits, insanity, premature burials, and lesbian vampires, In a Glass Darkly contains five diabolical tales of horror and mystery that will get the heart racing. Each story, including the famous "Green Tea" and "Carmilla," is presented as a case from the posthumous papers of Dr. Martin Hesselius, a metaphysical physician who has no doubt as to the existence of supernatural phenomena--unlike our anxious protagonists.

These traditional, yet unfamiliar tales were revered upon release, with Bram Stoker writing his own vampire story some twenty years later, and Henry James once suggesting that this is "the ideal reading...for the hours after midnight."



About the Author :
Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873), born in Dublin, established himself as a journalist and writer of fiction and became one of the best-selling authors of the 1860-80s. His sinister and supernatural tales are the precursors of the modern ghost story and inspired such authors as Bram Stoker and Robert Louis Stevenson. Nicholas Boulton is an actor and narrator whose work has been awarded the prestigious Audio Award for best narration, as well as many AudioFile Earphones Awards. In 2023, he was named a Golden Voice by AudioFile magazine. He studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, winning the BBC Carleton Hobbs Award for Radio. He has since been featured in countless BBC radio dramas, narrated a plethora of award-winning audiobooks, and died a thousand deaths in various video games. Film, TV and theatre appearances include Shakespeare in Love, Game of Thrones and Wolf Hall. David Horovitch has had a long and distinguished career. His appearances in the theater include many in the West End, the National Theatre, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Most recently he has appeared in Mike Leigh's Grief at the National Theatre. On television he is best remembered for his performance as Inspector Slack in Miss Marple and his films include Max and the Oscar nominated Solomon and Gaenor. Jonathan Keeble, winner of four AudioFile Earphones Awards, combines his audio work with a busy theater and television career. He has been featured in over six hundred radio plays for the BBC, appearing in everything from Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes to Doctor Who and The Archers, in which he played the evil Owen. As an Earphones Award-winning narrator, he is in high demand for his voice work. He has recorded over two hundred audiobooks. Daniel Philpott trained at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and, after success in the prestigious Carleton Hobbs Award for Radio Drama, has been prolific in BBC Radio and the Spoken Word industry.
