In a Glass Darkly by Sheridan Le Fanu

"In a Glass Darkly" is a collection of five short stories in the horror and mystery genres, all presented as cases of a fictional physician whose researches lead him into the dark corners of the supernatural. The tales involve a range of eerie and macabre happenings such as a man being haunted by his doppelgänger, a cursed mirror, a deadly spectral wolf, a case of spontaneous combustion, and the iconic story of a woman being preyed upon by a female vampire. The stories are tied together by the posthumous papers of the occult detective Dr. Martin Hesselius.
