I am really looking forward to reading Le Fanu again.

Thank you for choosing this. I have a hard copy cooling off on the stairwell (waiting to be safely opened) and look forward to October!
I have a volume "Collected works of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu", 2007 Bibliobazar, it contains The Ghostly Tales Volume 1, 4, 5 and Madam Crowl' Ghost, The Dead Sexton, Green Tea, Mr Justice Harbottle, Two Ghostly Mysteries. But in Volume 1 I have An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street and it is different from Mr Justice Harbottle. (Moreover there isn't a table of contents for the three volumes, it is a little confusing)
