Uncle Silas

Sheridan Le Fanu
Victorian Era UK Horror Literature

What do you think of when you think of Gothic mystery? A mysterious death followed by a mysterious will? Opium? Scary governesses? Some kind of murder plot? Graves? Estranged uncles? Gypsies? Creepy cousins? Murder? Gambling debts? Estates badly managed?

Did you say all of the above?

This is a review of Sheridan Le Fanu’s Uncle Silas.
