If you want a novel that still terrifies, over two hundred years after it was written, there is none finer than The Monk. AUTHOR Matthew Lewis (1775 - 1818) is an English writer remembered for his novel. 'The Monk'. Although not totally original, having been influenced by the writings of Ann Radcliffe and Hugh Walpole, 'The Monk' has nevertheless maintained its place in the early examples of Gothic horror, shocking its readers, and causing Jane Austen to send it up in 'Northanger Abbey'. Set in the sinister monastery of the Capuchins in Madrid, The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder and incest.
