This title is part of our 3 for 2 offer on British Library Fiction.

It was nearly dark in the cloisters; Lally looked up at the boars head, grotesque in the dimness. A strange thing to carve in a Christian church, he thought.

Following a romantic scandal in the Dukes court, Lally Duchene is dismissed to a new post at a monastery turned asylum nestled in the wine country of the Rhineland. Unphased by local superstitions about ghosts and nixies in the forests, his days slip by in a haze.

But something is stirring in this woodland idyll. Among the patients is a woman possessing an otherworldly aura. Phantasms disturb the night, and the vestiges of a sinister paganism leer from beneath holy facades. As the wine harvest approaches and Lallys past catches up with him at the monastery, eternal forces are awakeningand a carnage of ancient rites draws near.

First published in 1921, this full-bodied tale of mythical weirdness in nineteenth-century Germany is a vintage to be savoured.

Part of the Tales of the Weird series.
