Description
First published in 1862, An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic horror. Presented in the form of a real reported account, the story follows a family who moves into a modern, cheerful seaside home, only to be plagued by inexplicable and terrifying phenomena. From spectral shadows and phantom midnight footsteps to bone-chilling encounters with a strange, unnatural entity, Le Fanu builds a slow-burning sense of psychological dread. Eschewing cheap shocks, this classic tale relies on masterful atmosphere, tension, and eerie uncertainty to explore the raw fear of the unseen. A landmark entry in the Timeless Terrors series, it captures the psychological brilliance of the nineteenth century's premier ghost story writer. Narrated by horror author Jonathan Dunne.
