Escrito por Sheridan Le Fanu


Sheridan Le Fanu
Destacado representante de la fructífera escuela irlandesa de literatura fantástica, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu nació en Dublín en 1814 y estudió en el elitista Trinity College al igual que otros autores ilustres como Charles Maturin, creador del inmortal «Melmoth el errabundo», o Bram Stoker, padre del mito de Drácula. Le Fanu repartió su actividad entre el periodismo –llegó a dirigir el Dublin University Magazine– y la creación literaria.
Entre 1845 y 1873 publicó catorce novelas históricas y de misterio, y un buen número de relatos fantásticos, entre los que destaca “Carmilla”, probablemente la más lograda historia de vampiros jamás escrita. «El tío Silas» (1864), considerada por muchos como la mejor novela de misterio de la era victoriana –y la primera en la que se presenta un “caso de habitación cerrada” de toda la literatura inglesa–, es una narración en primera persona llena de intrigas y magistrales efectos atmosféricos al estilo de Ann Radclife o Wilkie Collins.
