A Look Inside
“What a fool I was! and yet, in the sight of angels, are we any wiser as we grow older? It seems to me, only, that our illusions change as we go on; but, still, we are madmen all the same.”
― Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, In a Glass Darkly

About the Book
"In a Glass Darkly" is a collection of five short stories that serve as a postmortem report on incidents involving Dr. Martin Hesselius, a "metaphysical" physician. Dr. Hesselius, one of the earliest fictional occult detectives, first appeared in the 1869 novel "Green Tea."
The most prominent item in this collection is perhaps "Carmilla," Sheridan Le Fanu's best-known work. Countess Mircalla, a young countess who has become a vampire, disguises herself as Carmilla, an anagram of her name, to prey on unsuspecting young girls. "Carmilla" had a considerable effect on Bram Stoker's Dracula, which eventually became the conventional vampire paradigm.
