In a Glass Darkly by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, Fiction, Literary, Horror, Fantasy

First published in 1872, the year before Sheridan Le Fanu's death. The second and third editions are revised versions of previously published stories and the fourth and fifth are long enough to be called novellas. The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "through a glass darkly".
