Sobre IBD

A masterpiece of Victorian Gothic fiction, Uncle Silas follows Maud Ruthyn, a wealthy heiress forced to live with her reclusive and enigmatic uncle after her father’s death. Though Silas outwardly presents himself as a repentant man of faith, dark rumors swirl around him, and his true intentions become increasingly suspect. Is he a misunderstood outcast or a cunning villain plotting Maud’s demise? Full of eerie suspense, psychological intrigue, and atmospheric dread, this chilling novel cements Le Fanu’s reputation as a master of 19th-century horror.
