About this listen

 Enter a quiet chamber of candlelight and shadow, where the tales of Sheridan Le Fanu are spoken once more. The Le Fanu Library invites listeners to wander through haunted houses, whispered confessions, and mysteries that tremble between dream and waking.

Each episode presents his strange and elegant works unabridged. Stories of beauty touched by dread, of secrets long buried yet never silent. Draw near, and let the darkness speak softly; for in these pages, the past lingers, watchful, and the flame burns on.Public domain
