Carwin

Cette série plonge dans les coins sombres de la psyché humaine et des phénomènes surnaturels. Située dans l'Amérique primitive, elle suit des drames familiaux remplis de mystère, d'obsession et d'événements inexplicables. Les personnages sont aux prises avec des démons intérieurs et des menaces extérieures qui remettent en question leur perception de la réalité. C'est une exploration captivante de la fiction gothique d'une profonde profondeur psychologique.

    A major influence on Poe and Hawthorne, this spellbinding tale of seduction, insanity, and murder represents one of America's earliest novels. Based on the true story of a religious fanatic who slaughtered his family, this proto-Gothic novel unfolds in rural Pennsylvania of the 1760s and offers compelling reflections of the era's social and political anxieties.

    Wieland or the Transformation
  • The origin story of Carwin delves into the life of a master manipulator who deceives both his family and a wealthy patron. As a central figure in a Gothic narrative, Carwin's unique ability to speak in two different voices enhances the story's psychological intensity, creating a chilling atmosphere. This exploration of manipulation and identity offers a deep dive into the complexities of human nature and moral ambiguity within the Gothic tradition.
