To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. James, who collected and introduces the stories in this book, considered that Le Fanu 'stands absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories.' We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Madam Crowl's Ghost & Other Stories are tales selected from Le Fanu's stories which mostly appeared in The Dublin University Magazine and other periodicals, and their haunting, sinister qualities still have an enormous appeal for the modern reader. James In 1888 Henry James wrote 'There was the customary novel by Mr Le Fanu for the bedside the ideal reading in a country house for the hours after midnight'.
