Joseph Sheridan Le Fanya (1814–1873) is an outstanding writer of the Victorian era, in which he was often called the Irish Wilki Collins and Irish Edgar of Po, the author of many Gothic stories, stories and novels who survived at the border of the XIX - XX centuries temporary oblivion , and then repeatedly gained popularity - already among the new generations of readers. The action of the novel “House at the cemetery” (1862, publ. 1863), which Le Fanya himself considered the peak of his work, takes place in the village of a chipper near Dublin, and begins with a find on the local graveyards of a man who clearly died a violent death. The mystery of his personality and death leads from the 1810s in the XVIII century, where at first slowly, and then the confusing criminal intrigue is increasingly spinning: a long-standing murder, the accusation of an innocent, attempts of a real criminal, who changed his name, to lose his past by liquidation or bribery of witnesses ... On the pages of the collection “In the dim glass” (1872) - the last lifetime of Le Fanya’s book - stories are adjacent to the otherworldly retaliation for a long -standing sin - and the story of an obsessive obsession, which drives the respectable layman, a romantic story about the ardent of love and about the mysterious room - about the mysterious room - And the legend of the vampire-member, for a quarter of a century ahead of Bram Stoker, ahead of the Dracula
