One of the most significant and intriguing Gothic novels of the Victorian period
and is enjoyed today as a modern psychological thriller. In UNCLE SILAS (1864)
Le Fanu brought up to date Mrs Radcliffe's earlier tales of virtue imprisoned
and menacedby unscrupulous schemers. The narrator, Maud Ruthyn, is a 17 year old
orphan left in the care of her fearful uncle, Silas. Together with his boorish
son and a sinister French governess, Silas plots to kill Maud and claim her
fortune. The novel established Le Fanu as a master of horror fiction.
