Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was an Irish writer renowned for his contributions to the genre of gothic fiction. Born in Dublin, he studied law at Trinity College but soon turned to writing, where he found his true calling. Le Fanu's works are characterized by their intricate plots, atmospheric settings, and psychological depth, often exploring themes of the supernatural and the macabre. His most famous works include the vampire novella "Carmilla," which predated Bram Stoker's "Dracula," and the novel "Uncle Silas." Le Fanu's ability to blend eerie suspense with profound character studies has solidified his legacy as a master of gothic literature.
