"Guy Deverell, v. 1 of 2" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a gothic novel written in the mid-19th century. The story focuses on Sir Jekyl Marlowe, a baronet with a vast estate, who becomes intrigued and unsettled by a young gentleman named Guy Strangways, whose striking resemblance to a long-dead relative raises unsettling memories and suspicions. The tale unfolds in a richly atmospheric setting, suggestive of mystery and the supernatural. At the start of the novel, Sir Jekyl is introduced at the Plough Inn, where his jovial demeanor betrays underlying disturbances as he encounters the handsome stranger. The narrative quickly shifts between his casual interactions with the innkeeper and the sudden shift in his mood upon seeing Strangways. His curiosity intensifies, leading him to seek Strangways out; simultaneously, the story hints at a darker history involving the Deverell family and an ominous green chamber in his manor. This opening effectively establishes a tension between the light-hearted surface of Sir Jekyl's life and the darker undertones of familial duty and eerie coincidences that are central to the unfolding mystery.
