About this book
In a dark twist on the Faustian legend, a cursed wanderer bargains for souls across centuries. Having sold his own to the devil, Melmoth roams the earth, offering a terrible exchange: freedom and salvation to those in their most desperate moments, in return for their soul. This complex and layered novel is a series of tales within a tale, each one a harrowing account of despair, temptation, and the ultimate price of salvation.
From the mind of Charles Maturin, a key figure in Gothic fiction and the great-uncle of Oscar Wilde, comes a masterpiece of supernatural horror. Considered by many to be the final great traditional Gothic novel, Melmoth the Wanderer is a sprawling and haunting journey into a cursed immortality.
A perfect Halloween novel and a must-read for fans of classic literature, dark fantasy, and anyone intrigued by the terrifying weight of an eternal life. Can anyone resist Melmoth's terrible offer?
