Help with Le Fanu short stories

[chrisk]

I'm a reader of many 19th century writers, not just those of horror. Two months ago, I bought the Dover edition of Uncle Silas from Amazon USA for $3.95 (it's now $3.99 but still an amazing bargain, considering it retails for $14.95). I liked it so much that I bought the Wordsworth Edition of The House by the Churchyard a few weeks ago. A little bit of research show me that both Dover and Wordsworth have published collections of his short stories. Posters on Amazon claim that all of his short stories can be found in the two Dover editions, but they're expensive - I think one of them retails for $25!

Now, do the various Wordsworth editions have all of them? Or are there a few missing? Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks. Even though the Dover ones cost a whole lot more, they've been in print far longer so I shouldn't have all that much trouble tracking them down. The hardest part will be remembering to search for both "Le Fanu" and "Lefanu"
