A review by emmaj_xo
The Monk by Emma McEvoy, Matthew Gregory Lewis

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

A melodrama of Operatic proportions with a plot to shock even modern readers. Whilst the Bloody Nun provides delightful capital H Horror, it’s in the monstrosity of man where this novel truly relishes the darkness.
