Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was a leading writer for ghost stories in the nineteenth century and is considered as one of the forerunners of the ghost literature. Le Fanu started out as a lawyer, but during his college studies; he switched to journalism. At the age of thirty, Le Fanu married and started a family. His married life was difficult due to his wife having neurotic symptoms and given to fits of anxiety. After fourteen years of marriage, Le Fanu's wife died, but a cause of death was never determined. Le Fanu struggled to support his family financially, but found some relief when he signed a publishing contract and was expected to deliver novels about modern times and specifically about subjects relative to the English people. Le Fanu produced many works including Uncle Silas, Carmilla, and The House by the Churchyard. Le Fanu died in 1873 and is currently honored in his native Ireland.
