A mad gothic tale . . . The reader is mesmerized with horror by what goes on in that forgotten school for young ladies Stephen King
Le parcours littéraire de Thomas Cullinan est passé de l'écriture théâtrale aux romans, certaines de ses œuvres étant adaptées au cinéma. Son écriture explore souvent les complexités de la psychologie humaine et les subtilités des relations. Ses premières pièces ont abordé des thèmes variés, des moments historiques aux drames intimes, tandis que ses romans ultérieurs, tels que 'The Beguiled', se sont plongés dans les aspects plus sombres de la nature humaine et le suspense. Le style distinctif de Cullinan juxtapose fréquemment la réalité brute à la tension psychologique, offrant au public et aux lecteurs des expériences captivantes et troublantes.


A mad gothic tale . . . The reader is mesmerized with horror by what goes on in that forgotten school for young ladies Stephen King
When an injured Union soldier is found in the Virginia woods as the Civil War rages, he is brought to the nearby Miss Martha Farnsworth Seminary for Young Ladies to recover. For the sheltered girls and their teachers, the arrival of the attractive John McBurney is a thrilling distraction from normal life. But before long, McBurney's presence will turn them against each other and upend all their lives - with potentially devastating consequences. Combining psychological suspense with humour and romantic drama, The Beguiled is a wildly entertaining novel of sexual tension and repression, and of rivalry, jealousy and, ultimately, vengeance. This paperback book has 372 pages and measures: 20 x 13 x 2.5cm approx.
