About this ebook
Theodore Wieland hears mysterious voices. Are these the result of delusions, ventriloquism, or divine forces? In this Gothic thriller, novelist Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) portrays a man beset by religious guilt which erupts into mania, making him an extreme danger to others. Brown's fascination with the scientifically bizarre and the macabre was a great influence on 19th century authors Hawthorne and Poe. 263 pp. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

Charles Brockden Brown was born on January 17, 1771 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
