Monk Book - Flame Tree Publishing

The original Gothic masterpiece of madness, desire, and horror. Overflowing with dark and atmospheric intentions, Matthew Lewis introduces us to the sinful world of Ambrosio, a monk from a sinister Madrid monastery. The seemingly pious Ambrosio turns out to have a character less than admirable, as he lusts after one of his pupils. However, bored easily with his victim's ease, Antonio soon begins to commit unspeakable acts through magic and violence. As the horror intensifies, it seems that the devil himself has his hand in every step, guiding Ambrosio down a path of ruin where hopes of redemption diminish with every breath, every repulsive act… until Ambrosio is forced to confront the evil he commands. FLAME TREE 451: From mystery to crime, from supernatural phenomena to horror and fantasy, and science fiction, Flame Tree 451 offers a hearty diet of werewolves and mechanical men, bloodthirsty vampires, wicked villains, mad scientists, secret worlds, lost civilizations, and escapist fantasies. Discover a magazine of stories collected especially for the science fiction reader. Each book features a completely new biography and a glossary of literary, Gothic, and Victorian terms.
