Strange World Theatre

The great Irish Gothic writer Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu wrote weird and terrifying fiction back in the 19th century, crafting fine tales of vampires and paranormal investigators. Join me as I delve into his work, finding out just how important he was to the development of these ideas. I explore the upper-class the Victorian-era Irish literary world, open vampire graves with Eastern European villagers, visit spooky castles, and discover the madness that awaits those who look into things MAN WAS NOT MEANT TO KNOW decades before H. P. Lovecraft made such things trendy and hipster-ish. Sources: In A Glass Darkly, Sheridan Le Fanu Memorial Discourse, Trinity College Dublin, T.S.C. Dagg, 1949.
