NOTES

What if your nightly comfort ritual opened a doorway for something that wants your soul? First published in 1869 and praised by both M. R. James and H. P. Lovecraft, Green Tea remains a cornerstone of psychological horror. This crisp, modern translation polishes Le Fanu's gothic prose without sacrificing its sinister charm, ensuring every reader feels the creature's burning eyes. - The Birth of the "Unreliable Sight" Trope - Experience the tale that inspired generations of haunted-mind narratives, from The Turn of the Screw to Black Swan. - Science Meets the Supernatural - Mesmerism, early psychology, and occult lore clash in a story that questions whether evil is external-or brewed within. - Victorian London at Dusk - Gaslit streets, rattling hansom cabs, and echoing church aisles paint a setting as eerie as the apparition itself. - Reader's Companion - Includes author biography, discussion questions, and historical notes on Victorian anxieties about caffeine, stimulants, and spiritualism. Drink if you dare. One slender cup may change how you perceive every shadow behind you
