Book excerpt: In James Hogg's 'The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner', the reader is taken on a haunting journey into the dark realms of human psychology and religious fanaticism. Written in a fragmented, multi-narrative style, the novel blurs the lines between reality and illusion, truth and fiction, making it a seminal work in the Gothic literary tradition. Hogg explores themes of duality, morality, and the nature of sin, challenging the reader to question the very foundations of good and evil. The book's intricate plot and unreliable narrators keep the reader on edge, creating a sense of unease that lingers long after the final page is turned. James Hogg, a Scottish author and poet, drew inspiration from his own religious background and the folklore of his native land to craft this complex and thought-provoking novel. His deep understanding of human nature and the complexities of the human psyche shine through in the intricate characterization and psychological depth of the book. I highly recommend 'The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner' to readers who enjoy dark, atmospheric tales that delve into the depths of the human soul. Hogg's masterful storytelling and exploration of timeless themes make this Gothic classic a must-read for anyone interested in the darker side of human nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel traces Robert Wringhim's gradual decline into despair and madness, as his doubts about the righteousness of his cause are counteracted by what appears to be the Devil himself, who is increasing domination over his life. Finally, Robert loses control over his own identity and start's committing murders. The action of the novel is located in a historically definable Scotland with accurately observed settings, and simultaneously implies a pseudo-Christian world of angels, devils, and demonic possession. Many of the events of the novel are narrated twice; first by the 'editor', who gives his account of the facts as he understands them to be, and then in the words of the 'sinner' himself. Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, it can be thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction in which the story is told, for the most part, from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero. _x000D_ James Hogg (1770-1835) was a Scottish poet, novelist and essayist who wrote in both Scots and English. As a young man he worked as a shepherd and farmhand, and was largely self-educated through reading. He was a friend of many of the great writers of his day, including Sir Walter Scott, of whom he later wrote an unauthorized biography. _x000D_

Book excerpt: A critical success on both sides of the Atlantic, this darkly imaginative novel from Scottish author James Robertson takes a tantalizing trip into the spiritual by way of a haunting paranormal mystery.

Book excerpt: Robert Wringham's family is composed of a dissolute father and brother, a pious mother, and a rival father in the person of a fanatical Calvinist minister. He comes to believe that he is one of the elect, predestined to be saved, while others are damned. Sure of his freedom from the dictates of morality, he embarks on a series of crimes in the company of a new friend Gil-Martin, a man of many likenesses who can be mistaken for Robert, and who explains that they are as one in the holy work of purifying the world. But who is Gil-Martin? And what does he truly desire? The Gothic double or doppelganger is nowhere more powerfully imagined than in Confessions of a Justified Sinner, once called 'the greatest novel of Scotland'.

Download or read book Powers of Darkness written by Bram Stoker and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powers of Darkness is an incredible literary discovery: In 1900, Icelandic publisher and writer Valdimar à?smundsson set out to translate Bram Stoker’s world-famous 1897 novel Dracula. Called Makt Myrkranna (literally, “Powers of Darkness†?), this Icelandic edition included an original preface written by Stoker himself. Makt Myrkranna was published in Iceland in 1901 but remained undiscovered outside of the country until 1986, when Dracula scholarship was astonished by the discovery of Stoker’s preface to the book. However, no one looked beyond the preface and deeper into à?smundsson’s story.In 2014, literary researcher Hans de Roos dove into the full text of Makt Myrkranna, only to discover that à?smundsson hadn’t merely translated Dracula but had penned an entirely new version of the story, with all new characters and a totally re-worked plot. The resulting narrative is one that is shorter, punchier, more erotic, and perhaps even more suspenseful than Stoker’s Dracula. Incredibly, Makt Myrkranna has never been translated or even read outside of Iceland until now.Powers of Darkness presents the first ever translation into English of Stoker and à?smundsson’s Makt Myrkranna. With marginal annotations by de Roos providing readers with fascinating historical, cultural, and literary context; a foreword by Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew and bestselling author; and an afterword by Dracula scholar John Edgar Browning, Powers of Darkness will amaze and entertain legions of fans of Gothic literature, horror, and vampire fiction.

Book excerpt: THIS IS THE ONLY EDITION with EVERY WORD on the SAME PAGE, on the SAME LINE, and practically the SAME PLACE as in the 1824 original-with "An Afterword" revealing secrets of the curse of the memoir... Decode the Secrets of The Curse... THIS EDITION reveals secrets of the curse overlooked by critics and scholars for nearly 200 years, including: Riddles of words and numbers, such as how the word "seventeen" appears only once in the whole book-precisely on page 17... Mysterious correlations of words, numbers, and biblical verses; How dates, directions, and other references have secret meanings... The peculiar ways words and phrases are arranged on particular pages, in the most perplexing ways... "Justified Sinning" & Justified Typesetting In the "Afterword," literary analyst Jaix Chaix helps readers (re-)discover a masterpiece of 19th-century Gothic literature-and the genius of author James Hogg and his meticulously precise methods of composition. Chaix reveals how "justified" has as much to do with sinning, as it does typesetting. He reveals "the devil in the detail," but doesn't spoil the mystery and meaning of it all. Beware. If you read any other edition or format, make sure: the word "seventeen" appears on page 17 the phrase "a quarter of an hour" appears on page 183 Otherwise, you'll be "cursed"-and won't be able to solve Hogg's secret riddles and the mystery of memoir...

Book excerpt: The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner - Written by Himself - With a Detail of Curious Traditionary Facts, and other Evidence, by the Editor - By James Hogg NEW COMPLETE EDITION The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner, (Full title, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner: Written by Himself: With a detail of curious traditionary facts and other evidence by the editor) is a novel by the Scottish author James Hogg, published anonymously in 1824. Considered by turns part-gothic novel, part-psychological mystery, part-metafiction, part-satire, part-case study of totalitarian thought, it can also be thought of as an early example of modern crime fiction in which the story is told, for the most part, from the point of view of its criminal anti-hero. The action of the novel is located in a historically definable Scotland with accurately observed settings, and simultaneously infers a pseudo-Christian world of angels, devils, and demonic possession. The first edition sold very poorly and the novel suffered from a period of critical neglect, especially in the nineteenth century. However, since the latter part of the twentieth century it has won greater critical interest and attention. It was praised by Andre Gide in an introduction to the 1947 reissue and described by the critic Walter Allen as 'the most convincing representation of the power of evil in our literature'. It has also been seen as a study of religious fanaticism through its deeply critical portrait of the Calvinist concept of predestination. It is written in Scottish English, with some sections of Scots that appear in dialogue.
