Coll: 12mo. viii 379; 4 339 pages. Following 30 years of gothic novels with logical not paranormal explanations at the end Matthew Lewis added the supernatural in his 1795 novel The Monk but it was Hoffmann in The Devil’s Elixirs “Die Elixiere des Teufels†Berlin 1815 who took supernatural horror out of the Gothic castle and on to the highway rearranging and expanding the potential plotlines and leaving a legacy vitally alive today for his descendants Bram Stoker H. P. Lovecraft and Stephen King. He elevates the sport to a new zenith as he analyzes the destructive psychological state the deeply divided nature of human imagination and the seductive ambiguities of art. The Capuchin monk Medardus is a charismatic criminal whose superficial holiness is a facade masking an inner wickedness. Driven by power fantasies Medardus drinks an arcane liquor 60 years before Stevenson’s Jekyll & and Hyde and becomes implicated in a mystery against his will. Traveling on the road to Rome and wrestling with the enigma of his own identity 65 years before Freud he is pursued by a demonic and murderous doppelganger multiple identity as a wraith of himself. The monk’s only potential salvation lies with the sex object Aurelie but to escape the curse which lies over him and his family he must evade sinister powers of the living and the dead. Does he do it Nope. William Blackwood & T. Cadell unknown
