Le Fanu's characterization of the Madame was convincingly sinister and he was able to create and maintain a meanacing and forbidding atmosphere throughout the novel. The climax was startling and apropos. What can I say? I love a good gothic novel with excellent plotting and characters. I highly recommend Uncle Silas if you wish to delve into Le Fanu's novels.<br /><br />Mica<br /><a href="http://www.kingfishercharters.co/Alaska-Fishing-Lodge.php" rel="nofollow">Customer recommendations for Alaska Fishing Lodge Website</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730795639460996154.post-25316494979003154972011-08-19T09:29:49.542-04:002011-08-19T09:29:49.542-04:00I read his novella Carmilla not long ago-it introd...I read his novella Carmilla not long ago-it introduced the first Lesbian vampire into literature.
