"In a Glass Darkly, v. 3/3" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a gothic fiction novel written in the late 19th century. This volume contains interconnected tales of mystery and the supernatural, featuring suspenseful narratives that weave dark themes of obsession and danger. The central storyline involves a protagonist, Monsieur Beckett, who finds himself ensnared in a perilous situation involving the sinister Count de St. Alyre and the charming yet enigmatic Countess, Eugenie, as they plot to rob and potentially murder him. The opening portion introduces a chilling scenario where Beckett, already in a precarious state, discovers himself in a room amidst the devious plots of the Count and Countess. We witness the aftermath of a scheme gone awry, with Beckett's life hanging by a thread as he observes the Count recklessly counting out his valuables while plotting Beckett's demise. The tension escalates as it becomes clear that Beckett might not just be a victim of theft but a pawn in a much darker game involving deceit and premeditated murder. This setup effectively immerses the reader in a suspenseful atmosphere filled with palpable dread and anticipation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 77.3 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
