Hello Book Friends,

Here is the reading schedule for In a Glass Darkly. I will post some background information closer to the start date.

Week 1 (October 4–11): Green Tea

Week 2 (October 11–18): The Familiar (In some editions, this may be called “The Watcher.”)

Week 3 (October 18–25): Mr. Justice Harbottle (In some editions, this may be called “An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street.”)

Week 4 (October 25–November 1): The Room in the Dragon Volant, Chapters 1–13

Week 5 (November 1–8): The Room in the Dragon Volant, Chapters 14–26

Week 6 (November 8–15): Carmilla, Chapters 1–8

Week 7 (November 15–22): Carmilla, Chapters 9–16

Note that the book contains three short stories and two novellas, so you can join at any point or skip any stories you've read before.

I'm reading the free Kindle version from Amazon, which comes in three volumes. It's also free on Gutenberg.

It's pretty amazing so far!

Daniela Sorgente | 134 comments 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)

Yes, "An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street" was published earlier, and it was reworked as "Mr. Justice Harbottle" later, so if I understand correctly they are the same story but the second has been rewritten, so they might look different. Glad you'll be joining us!
