The Monk - Paperback

by M. G. Lewis (Author)

Lust, temptation, and forbidden desire drive a respected monk to the brink. But how far will he go when faced with powers beyond his control?

Set in a corrupt, sinister monastery, The Monk follows Ambrosio, a pious monk whose descent into darkness leads to horrifying acts of cruelty, lust, and the supernatural. This Gothic novel shocks with its daring themes and grotesque imagery, exploring themes of morality, obsession, and the supernatural. Renowned for its sensationalism and chilling atmosphere, The Monk remains a cornerstone of Gothic literature.
