In a Glass Darkly, a collection of stories by
J. S. Le Fanu, published 1872. They purport to be cases from the papers of ‘Dr Martin Hesselius, the German Physician’—the first of a long line of psychic investigators in English literature. Of the five stories the best-known are ‘Green Tea’, featuring an apparition in the form of a malignant monkey, and ‘Carmilla’, an extremely powerful tale of a female vampire which antedates Stoker's
Dracula by 25 years and was adapted by Carl Dreyer in his film
Vampyr (1932).
