Two Ghostly Mysteries A Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family; and the Murdered Cousin

"Two Ghostly Mysteries" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a compilation of two chilling stories from the 1800s. The first story, "A Chapter in the History of a Tyrone Family", follows Fanny Richardson as she tells of her youth in a rich but unfriendly family and how her sister's death causes her great sadness and isolation. The story's suspense comes from questions around the sister's death and spooky happenings, setting up a deep look into loss and the supernatural. "The Murdered Cousin," the collection's second story, explores uncertainty and mystery within the family, hinting at hidden, unsettling secrets as a result of a horrible killing.
