Green Tea and Other Tales by Sheridan LeFanu
Irish writer born in 1814 well known for his ghost stories and supernaturalist fiction. M.R. James was a great fan of his work. He published his vampire story Carmilla in 1872 - predating Bram Stoker's Dracula - ( it is theorized that Stoker was possibly influenced by Carmilla).
the wikipedia article on him points out:
"His best-known works, still read today, are the macabre mystery novel Uncle Silas (1864), 'The Rose and the Key' (1871), and the collection In a Glass Darkly (1872), which contains Carmilla as well as 'Green Tea' and 'The Familiar', two famous stories of enigmatic hauntings apparently provoked by obscure guilt "
A lot of his work is available online - the Green Tea e-text is available here
