Green Tea

"Green Tea" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a classic Gothic horror story about a tea-drinking clergyman haunted by a menacing black monkey that seems to influence his actions and diminish his well-being. The story is presented through the perspective of Dr. Martin Hesselius, a knowledgeable doctor who was consulted by the clergyman. As a significant work by a leading figure in 19th-century ghost storytelling, the tale explores themes of terror and psychological disturbance within a richly atmospheric setting.
