So was the green tea of the mid 1800s different than the green tea today? It appears to have hallucinogenic properties. The gentleman in the story begins to see the apparition of a monkey after drinking large quantities of green tea. The story was interesting but I didn’t care for the writing style. ( )

A short gothic tale of a supernatural, demonic monkey haunting people. The style a bit dated but still a great read nevertheless. ( )

I found it hard to get into this book. The tale is a slow plodding narrative that just didn’t speak to me. It’s setting and time era didn’t put me off in any way. It just wasn’t all that interesting to read and I had to push myself to finish. ( )

Interesting tale and one I'd not heard of before discovering it. Elements of Green Tea are truly unsettling and show why Le Fanu has the reputation he richly deserves. That said there is something - for me - wanting in the story. Nevertheless it is most definitely worth the read. ( )
