In 1888 Henry James wrote "There was the customary novel by Mr. Le Fanu for the bedside; the ideal reading in a country house for the hours after midnight". Madam Crowl`s Ghost & Other Stories are tales selected from Le Fanu`s stories which mostly appeared in The Dublin University Magazine and other periodicals, and their haunting, sinister qualities still have an enormous appeal for the modern reader. The great , who collected and introduces the stories in this book, considered that Le Fanu "stands absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories".
