Melmoth (2018)

Book

Published
Perry relocates traditional gothic guilt to winter-bound Prague, where draughty apartments and archive boxes harbour modern testimonies of moral cowardice. Drawing on Charles Maturin's classic wanderer myth, this story turns upon witness and silence: the quiet complicities of ordinary people who look away when cruelty occurs. The atmosphere is dense with historical grief, making the central supernatural watcher an embodiment of unappeased conscience rather than a hollow fright.
