Uncle Silas: Nonsuch Classics

Silas Rutvyn is something of a riddle. To some, including his niece, he is something of a ghost. As Le Fanu gradually unfolds the layers of this story, we are irresistibly drawn into his world. There are, however, no simple answers. Le Fanu, whose writing inspired such classics as Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', is a masterful storyteller, and this work does not disappoint. From the writer of such works as 'Through a Glass Darkly' and 'The House by the Churchyard', this eerie and chilling tale is one of the finest examples of his art.

About the Author

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the renowned gothic novelist, was born in Dublin in 1873. His vampire novella Carmella is known to have directly influenced Barm Stoker’s Dracula, among others. Likewise, Le Fanu’s A Chapter in the History of the Tyrone Family is thought to have been a source of inspiration for Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. It is, however, his tales of the supernatural for which he is best remembered.
