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-.

From "Green Tea" "The evil spirits associated with man are, indeed from the hells, but when with man they are not then in hell, but are taken out thence. The place where they then are, is in the midst between heaven and hell, and is called the world of spirits -- when the evil spirits who are with man, are in that world, they are not in any infernal torment, but in every thought and affection of man, and so, in all that the man himself enjoys. But when they are remitted into their hell, they return to their former state. . . ." "If evil spirits could perceive that they were associated with...

THE RIVERDALE VAMPIRE COLLECTION brings together a diverse assortment of vampire tales, ranging from the classics of 19th century horror to the present day. Editor J.T.

In addition to the introduction and footnotes, McDaniel wrote...

Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 -1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was the premier ghost story writer of the nineteenth century. In his stories the supernatural explanation is implied, but there is always a remote but possible natural explanation. Carmilla is the story of a vampire, illustrating the victory of superstition over logic.

This Gothic novella tells the story of a young woman's susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. Carmilla predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years, and has been adapted many times for cinema. Although Carmilla is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, Dracula, the latter is heavily influenced by Le Fanu's short story.
