[Extollager]

Here's a podcast on this famous story of Dr. Hesselius and the unfortunate Mr. Jennings. The guest is Jack Sullivan, author of the well-known book on supernatural fiction, Elegant Nightmares.

I hope to eventually listen to that since "Green Tea" is a long-time favorite and, I think, a common ancestor of both M. R. James' ghost stories and Henry James' ghost stories: Both were admirers of Le Fanu.

Good point, Randy.

Uncle Silas sold me once and for all, just terrific writing.

I'm meaning to get to a second reading of that one, J Riff.

I remember reading this from his A Glass Darkly. Favorite next to "Carmilla."
