A major influence on Poe and Hawthorne, this spellbinding tale of seduction, insanity, and murder represents one of America's earliest novels. Based on the true story of a religious fanatic who slaughtered his family, this proto-Gothic novel unfolds in rural Pennsylvania of the 1760s and offers compelling reflections of the era's social and political anxieties.
Carwin Séria
Táto séria vás vtiahne do temných zákutí ľudskej psychiky a nadprirodzených javov. V prostredí rannej Ameriky sleduje rodinné drámy plné tajomstiev, posadnutosti a nevysvetliteľných udalostí. Postavy sa potýkajú s vnútornými démonmi aj vonkajšími hrozbami, ktoré spochybňujú ich vnímanie reality. Ide o fascinujúce ponorenie sa do gotickej fikcie s psychologickou hĺbkou.
