About Author:

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (28 August 1814 – 7 February 1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was the leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. Three of his best known works are Uncle Silas, Carmilla and The House by the Churchyard.

A STABLE FOR NIGHTMARES: Please note that this book is an anthology, mostly consisting of stories published anonymously, and is NOT a collection of stories written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. "Dickon the Devil" is indeed a story by that author. "What Was It?" is a story by Fitz-James O'Brien, and the 1896 New Amsterdam edition cites Sir Charles Young, Bart. AND OTHERS as contributors to the volume.

No edition from that published by Tinsley Brothers in 1867 to the present has presented the names of authors beside the titles on the Contents page, and the placement of Le Fanu's name on the front cover and spine on some early editions has led to further confusion.

Unscrupulous and/or simply careless publishers have publishing this book as a collection of stories by Le Fanu for more than a century.
