From the pen of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the undisputed master of Victorian Gothic horror and Irish supernatural fiction, comes one of his most chilling and visually haunting tales.

Schalken the Painter (1839) is a brilliant early work that fuses the supernatural with the visual arts, setting the stage for Le Fanu's signature subtle dread. It follows the story of a young, ambitious Dutch painter named Godfrey Schalken and his entanglement with a devastatingly beautiful young woman, Rose Velderkaust. Rose is essentially sold by her greedy uncle to a mysterious, silent, and immensely wealthy suitor named Mynher Vanderhausen. This suitor is not human, but a being with an unearthly chill, and the painting Schalken later creates becomes the terrifying vehicle for the truth of this diabolic bargain.
