Green Tea and Mr. Justice Harbottle is a collection of two supernatural stories written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The first story, Green Tea, is about a clergyman named Mr. Jennings who becomes addicted to drinking green tea and begins to see a mysterious monkey-like creature that haunts him. The creature eventually drives him to madness and he seeks the help of a doctor to rid him of the hallucinations.The second story, Mr. Justice Harbottle, is about a corrupt judge named Harbottle who is haunted by the ghosts of those he has wronged in the past. The ghosts seek revenge on Harbottle and he becomes increasingly paranoid and desperate to escape their wrath.Both stories explore themes of guilt, paranoia, and the supernatural. Le Fanu's writing style is atmospheric and suspenseful, drawing the reader into the eerie and unsettling worlds he creates. Green Tea and Mr. Justice Harbottle is a classic of supernatural literature and a must-read for fans of horror and ghost stories.These affections, I had read, are sometimes transitory and sometimes obstinate. I had read of cases in which the appearance, at first harmless, had, step by step, degenerated into something direful and insupportable, and ended by wearing its victim out. Still as I stood there, but for my bestial companion, quite alone, I tried to comfort myself by repeating again and again the assurance, 'the thing is purely disease, a well-known physical affection, as distinctly as small-pox or neuralgia. Doctors are all agreed on that, philosophy demonstrates it. I must not be a fool.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
