A shadowy
figure, Henry Ferris had published several works in the
Dublin
University Magazine in the mid nineteenth century, one of which was
mis-attributed to Sheridan Le Fanu. A collection of stories and
essays by Ferris was published in 1997 by Tartarus Press under the
editorship of S.T. Joshi, but it has subsequently been found that
two of the stories were in fact translations by Ferris, not his
original work. "A Leaf from the Berlin Chronicles"
is by
E.T.A.Hoffman and "Tobias Guarnerius" is by Charles Rabou. The
others may well be by Ferris. His two best weird tales are "A
Night in a Haunted House" and "A Night in the Bell Inn".
