[Coletânea] O Fantasma da Senhora Crowl & Outros Contos de J. Sheridan Le Fanu '-' Em 1888, Henry James escreveu: «Os melhores livros de cabeceira são as novelas de Le Fanu. Constituem a leitura ideal numa casa de campo após a meia-noite.» O Fantasma da Senhora Crowl e outros contos foram seleccionados das histórias de Le Fanu que apareceram principalmente em The Dublin University Magazine e outros jornais, e as suas qualidades sinistras e assustadoras ainda exercem grande atracção sobre o leitor moderno.Madam Crowl's Ghost & Other Stories by J.
