Main Life Works Carmilla ... Films Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu was born in Dublin in 1814 into a well-educated Irish family of Huguenot extraction, connected by marriage to that of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan.
He was educated by his father, a clergyman, by private tutors, and then at Trinity College, Dublin. He was called to the bar in 1839, but he never practiced and soon abandoned law for journalism. He contributed ballads, stories and verse to the Dublin University Magazine and in 1861 became its editor and proprietor, developing it from a student publication into a significant European title.
After the death of his wife in 1858, he withdrew from society becoming known as the "Invisible Prince". He became something of a recluse and devoted himself to his writing.
At this time, he was becoming increasingly pessimistic about life in general and the course of Irish politics in particular. He seems to have focused on the negative aspects of his own life to write some of the great supernatural horror tales of the period.
Although a best-selling author for more than twenty years, Le Fanu's reputation drifted into almost a century of obscurity, although he had as fans such writers as Henry James and Dorothy Sayers. A major reason for this neglect by the literary elite seems to be the subject of his writing, since for many decades the great majority of literary critics held supernatural horror fiction in disdain.

MEMORY by: Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873)
    NE wild and simple bugle sound,
    Breathed o'er Killarney's magic shore,
    Awakes sweet floating echoes round
    When that which made them is no more.
    So slumber in the human breast
    Wild echoes that will sweetly thrill
    Through memory's vistas when the voice
    That waked them first for aye is still.
    Oh! memory, though thy records tell
    Full many a tale of grief and folly,
    Of mad excess, of hope decayed,
    Of dark and cheerless melancholy.
    Yet, memory, to me thou art
    The dearest of the gifts of mind,
    For all the joys that touch my heart
    Are joys that I have left behind.

PROLOGUE
Upon a paper attached to the Narrative which follows, Doctor Hesselius has written a rather elaborate note, which he accompanies with a reference to his Essay on the strange subject which the MS illuminates. This mysterious subject he treats, in that Essay, with his usual learning and acumen, and with remarkable directness and condensation. It will form but one volume of the series of that extraordinary man's collected papers. As I publish the case, in these volumes, simply to interest the 'laidy', I shall forestall the intelligent lady, who relates it, in nothing; and, after due consideration, I have determined, therefore, to abstain from presenting any precis of the learned Doctor's reasoning, or extract from his statement on a subject which he describes as 'involving, not improbably, some of the [profoundest arcana of our dual existence, and its intermediates'. I was anxious, on discovering this paper, to re-open the correspondence commenced by Doctor Hesselius, so many years before, with a person so clever and careful as his informant seems to have been. Much to my regret, however, I found that she had died in the interval. She, probably, could have added little to the Narrative which she communicates in the following pages, with, so far as I can pronounce, such a conscientious particularity.

In the five Northumbrian counties you will scarcely find so bleak, ugly, and yet, in a savage way, so picturesque a moor as Dardale Moss. The moor itself spreads north, south, east, and west, a great undulating sea of black peat and heath. What we may term its shores are wooded wildly with birch, hazel, and dwarf-oak. No towering mountains surround it, but here and there you have a rocky knoll rising among the trees, and many a wooded promontory of the same pretty, because utterly wild, forest, running out Into its dark level. Habitations are thinly scattered in this barren territory, and a full mile away from the meanest was the stone cottage of Mother Carke. Let not my southern reader who associates ideas of comfort with the term "cottage" mistake. This thing is built of shingle, with low walls. Its thatch is hollow; the peat-smoke curls stingily from its stunted chimney. It is worthy of its savage surroundings. The primitive neighbours remark that no rowan-tree grows near, nor holly, nor bracken, and no horseshoe is nailed on the door.

Dickon the Devil
by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
About thirty years ago I was selected by two rich old maids to visit a property in that part of Lancashire which lies near the famous forest of Pendle, with which Mr. Ainsworth's "Lancashire Witches" has made us so pleasantly familiar. My business was to make partition of a small property, including a house and demesne to which they had, a long time before, succeeded as coheiresses. The last forty miles of my journey I was obliged to post, chiefly by cross-roads, little known, and less frequented, and presenting scenery often extremely interesting and pretty. The picturesqueness of the landscape was enhanced by the season, the beginning of September, at which I was travelling. I had never been in this part of the world before; I am told it is now a great deal less wild, and, consequently, less beautiful. At the inn where I had stopped for a relay of horses and some dinner-for it was then past five o'clock-I found the host, a hale old fellow of five-and-sixty, as he told me, a man of easy and garrulous benevolence, willing to accommodate his guests with any amount of talk, which the slightest tap sufficed to set flowing, on any subject you pleased. I was curious to learn something about Barwyke, which was the name of the demesne and house I was going to. As there was no inn within some miles of it, I had written to the steward to put me up there, the best way he could, for a night.
