Description:
The prison-like edifice of a mysterious ancient townhouse and the gloom-laden landscape of Flanders form the backdrop to this intense, unrelenting, but beautifully crafted fantasy by the Belgian Jean Ray. Orson Welles played the slowly dying Cassave in the screen adaptation, which has many devoted admirers. This is one of the greatest gothic novels, and one of the only ones written in the 20th century, appearing here for the first time in English. What ghastly message is he bringing us?
