Manfroné; or, The One-Handed Monk (Monster, She Wrote #5)

[Valancourt Books]

Now available! Our 5th and final Monster, She Wrote title, Mary Anne Radcliffe's MANFRONÉ; OR, THE ONE-HANDED MONK (1809). This classic Gothic novel opens with an unforgettable scene: a lascivious monk enters the lovely Rosalina’s bedroom through a secret panel, planning to rape her, but suffers the gruesome amputation of his hand when he is caught in the act! And the plot only gets wilder from there. It's a terrific example of an early Gothic horror novel by a woman writer, predating FRANKENSTEIN by almost a decade. Features stunning cover art and a new intro by Lisa Kröger.

Is she THE Anne Radcliffe from Udolpho or no?

I freaking love this cover.

The true identity isn't known. It may have been a gimmick to sell more books or it could have been one of multiple authors named Mary Anne Radcliffe.
