Gothic Literature at its finest!
This is undoubtedly one of the best contributions to Gothic literature I've had the good fortune to come across. Horror, vice and virtue, life and death, heaven and hell, all that and more come together in this incomparable story and imprinted the events on my soul.
Pardon my verbiage, but my heart is still floating in the words and language of a story from centuries ago that feels too real and otherworldly beautiful even today.
