Born into a literary family in Dublin, Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu emerged as a significant figure in 19th-century supernatural fiction. Eager to learn, he utilized his father's library and published his first story at the age of 24. His early works, often set in Ireland, feature gothic horror themes and reflect a nostalgia for the dispossessed Catholic aristocracy. Following personal tragedies, including the death of his wife, Le Fanu's writing delved into psychological horror. He produced several notable works before his death in 1873, solidifying his legacy in literature.
