It is here presented in an ultimate format, probably the best presentation this powerful novel has ever had, with full color original artworks by David Ho, classic paintings of Hell from the Middle Ages, a bonus short story, "The Midnight Embrace," and a fine and penetrating original introduction by esteemed novelist Patrick McGrath. Classic gothic supernatural novel of the late 18th century of the corruption and downfall of the monk Ambrosio, and his interactions with the demon in disguise Matilda and the virtuous maiden Antonia: introduction by Patrick McGrath, Despite being published over 200 years ago, The Monk is surprisingly readable, its story of moral downfall and sordid depictions of greed, lust, and corruption all-too-relevant today.
