Uncle Silas
Uncle Silas
is a
Victorian
Gothic
mystery
-
thriller
novel by the
Irish
writer
J. Sheridan Le Fanu
. It is an early example of the
locked room mystery
subgenre, rather than a novel of the
supernatural
(despite a few creepily ambiguous touches), but does show a strong interest in the
occult
and in the ideas of
Emanuel Swedenborg
, a
Swedish
scientist, philosopher and
Christian mystic
.
