Ep. 27 "What Was It?" by J. S. Le Fanu
Manage episode 410534834 series 3442666
Described by M.R James as "absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories", Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 - 1873) created gothic and macabre tales that, more than a century hence, have not lost their power to make the flesh crawl, and those shadows in the corner of the room seem somehow darker.
What Was It? (1896) deals with two friends, a quantity of opium, and a hidden horror.
