A selection of works from The Dublin University Magazine by an obscure Irish citizen names Henry Ferris, one of which, "A Night in the Bell Inn" was attributed to Le Fanu by August Derleth.  However, recent research brings into question the authorship of the pieces (one is a translation of a minor piece by E.T.A. Hoffmann) and it has been suggested that the identity of the author is a hoax.

An excellent study of "the Ferris-texts" based on internal and external evidence.  Points out that some items attributed to Ferris based on internal evidence (such as the story "A Night in the Bell Inn" attributed to Le Fanu by August Derleth) may not be Ferris's work at all.  Points the way to further investigation.
