"Green Tea; Mr. Justice Harbottle" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a collection of supernatural tales written in the late 19th century. The stories delve into themes of psychological horror and the occult, presenting cases that intertwine spiritual phenomena with medical insights, as narrated by the character Dr. Martin Hesselius, who serves as the primary observer and chronicler of the events surrounding affected individuals, including figures like the Rev. Mr. Jennings and the titular Mr. Justice Harbottle. At the start of "Green Tea," we are introduced to Martin Hesselius, a physician who refrains from practicing medicine due to health issues. He recounts his admiration for Dr. Hesselius, presenting a case involving the Rev. Mr. Jennings—a man plagued by mysterious health episodes and an ominous presence in the form of a spectral monkey that seems tied to his feelings of dread. The narrative unfolds with Jennings's descent into despair as he grapples with his unwelcome companion, leading to serious spiritual dilemmas and a search for answers. The opening sets a chilling tone, highlighting the intersection of mental health, supernatural occurrences, and moral quandaries that Le Fanu expertly weaves throughout the work.
