"First published in book form in 1864"--Title page verso./ "When Maud Ruthyn, an orphan in her teens, comes to live with her guardian at Knowl, she finds herself in the midst of a strange household. Her uncle, Silas Ruthyn, is a man of dark passions, confined to his room, while his servants are whispered to be brigands, with a woman in a hidden apartment at the top of a tower. Determined to solve the mystery, Maud slowly begins to unravel the web of deception and fear, only to discover that nothing is as it seems and that evil sometimes wears an unsuspected face." A classic Gothic novel by this celebreated 19th-Century Irish author. First published in 1864 and considered one of Le Fanu's most popular works. Set in 19th-century England; tells the story of the young heiress Maud Ruthyn, sent to live with her reclusive and mysterious uncle Silas in his remote mansion. As Maud uncovers the secrets of her family's past, she begins to suspect that her uncle is not what he seems and may have sinister intentions towards her. "Uncle Silas" is known for its intricate plotting, atmospheric setting, and complex characters. The novel is often cited as a prime example of Victorian-era Gothic literature, with its themes of madness, murder, and family secrets. The character of Uncle Silas has been particularly praised for his enigmatic and unsettling presence throughout the book." /// Irish writers. Gothic fiction (Literary genre) Psychological fiction.
