Reminiscences of a Bachelor

<p><em>I </em>know<em> there is a God-a dreadful God-and that retribution follows guilt.</em> - <em>The Watcher</em></p><p><br></p><p>For the first time in over 150 years The Watcher Le Fanu's classic tale of supernatural menace is reissued from the pages of the <em>Dublin University Magazine</em> along with its original companion piece The Fatal Bride a brooding gothic novella not reprinted since its first publication in 1848. Like matched duelling pistols <em>Reminiscences of a Bachelor</em> offers the most exquisite balance of craftsmanship beauty and peril. In these tales of Old Dublin honour is ever at stake the fate of lovers lies mired in the past and something even worse than deceit stalks the streets something just as deadly to the soul as it is to the flesh. </p>
