Dark the Dead Keep

by Hixson Pyke

When it was first published in 1796, M.G. Lewis’ gothic masterwork, The Monk, was considered blasphemous for its depiction of an abbot overcome by demonic forces. The book also hinted at the tragedy of a young couple named Raymond and Agnes, yet large parts of their tale went untold--until now. In the late 16th Century, the fires of the Inquisition raged through Spain, while Europe continued its reckoning with the New World. Against this backdrop, a Spaniard named Raymond takes refuge in the wilds of Germany to dodge an unpaid debt and the manhunter who is pursuing him for it. A quick layover turns to prolonged horror when he finds himself snowed in for winter while a malevolent presence stalks the estate from the forest. Part travelogue, part chiller, this is the tale you haven't yet heard from a centuries-old horror classic--an exploration of the dark places the dead keep.
