E-text prepared by Suzanne Shell, Project Gutenberg Beginners Projects, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "J. S. Le Fanu's Ghostly Tales, Volume 4" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a collection of ghost stories written during the mid-19th century. This volume includes tales such as "Ghost Stories of Chapelizod," "The Drunkard's Dream," "The Ghost and the Bone-setter," and "The Mysterious Lodger," each weaving elements of the supernatural with local folklore and societal commentary. The collection captures eerie narratives set primarily in Ireland, focusing on themes of vengeance, morality, and the supernatural. The opening of the volume sets the tone with the first story, "Ghost Stories of Chapelizod," introducing readers to an ancient, dilapidated village filled with legends of terror and haunted by its past. The story begins with an exploration of the history of Chapelizod, a village with a reputation tied to its mystical inhabitants, and introduces Bully Larkin, a notorious bully known for his strength and merciless demeanor. Tension builds as he provokes a younger man named Long Ned over a rivalry for the affections of a girl, leading to a brutal encounter that echoes throughout the village. The narrative foreshadows Larkin's eventual haunting reckoning, blending realizations of guilt and spectral retribution, effectively engaging readers with its mix of social critique and supernatural horror.
