In a Glass Darkly is a collection of stories by Joseph Thomas Sheridan LeFanu. It contains 3 short stories and 2 novellas. Starting on February 1, I propose to read them over 6 weeks; posting the 3 short stories during the first week, then a novella every two weeks after.

Week 1: Feb. 1-7: Three stories- Green Tea, The Familiar, Mr. Justice Harbottle
Week 2: continue discussion
Week 3: The Room in the Dragon Volant
Week 4: continue discussion
Week 5: Carmilla
Week 6: continue discussion

I believe that some texts have a more subdivided Table of Contents and will look into dividing the novellas for ease of conversation.

In a Glass Darkly contains five increasingly dark stories. Each tale, including the famous Green Tea and Carmilla, is presented as a case from the posthumous papers of Dr. Martin Hesselius, metaphysical physician, as he explores the line between hallucination and reality.

LeFanu Influenced the Authors:
Bram Stoker, Henry James, Elizabeth Bowen, and M. R. James.

According to GoodReads, “The Familiar is a revision of The Watcher; Mr. Justice Harbottle is a revision of An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street.”
