The Purcell Papers (1880)

The Purcell Papers (1880) are a collection of thirteen Gothic, supernatural, historical and humorous short stories by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–73) originally written for the Dublin University Magazine.

The first twelve were written between 1838–40 and purport to be extracts from the MS. Papers of the late Rev. Francis Purcell, of Drumcoolagh, a Catholic priest.
