Reseña del libro "The Danger Mark (en Inglés)"

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Wealth, romance, adventure, and one woman's struggle with addiction. This 1909 novel is right on par with Robert W. Chambers' love of walking the edge of what was acceptable for society at the time and then taking one step farther with tactful grace. Meet the Seagrave children - spoiled, wealthy, parentless twins who live under the tutelage of a governess and the indulging care of their household servants. As they age into young adulthood it becomes abundantly clear that their financial resources have been taken advantage of by their family's closest friend and executor of the estate. Though not penniless, they are certainly down on their luck and forced to re-examine their futures. With such a crisis on their hands, little is it noticed that the sister out of the pair has a deep secret, a dark mark which taints her. Geraldine doesn't face just any addiction, though, she is up against a lifelong penchant for alcohol, having begun dosing herself with cologne (which had an alcohol content to some degree) when she was just a young girl in order to chase away her boredom blues. She battles her alcoholism alone, in secret, ashamed of her problem, often losing the fight. It isn't until she meets a young man who captures her heart that she decides to conquer the beast once and for all. But in order to do so she must overcome temptation, confession, and withdrawal. Yet, she did it for herself as much as she did it for him - she wanted to be in control, to be worthy, to be clean before accepting him into her life. She needed to rid herself of the dark mark hanging heavy in her mind... Includes vintage illustration!

Ver Página del Autor

Escritor estadounidense conocido por sus relatos de terror y misterio. Publicó El Rey Amarillo (1895), una colección de cuentos que influyó en la literatura fantástica y de horror, con elementos que posteriormente inspiraron a escritores como H.P. Lovecraft. Aunque inicialmente se destacó en la ficción macabra y sobrenatural, su carrera tomó un giro hacia la novela romántica e histórica, con títulos como The Tracer of Lost Persons (1906) y The Dark Star (1917).

Su obra combina el terror cósmico con el decadentismo literario de finales del siglo XIX. The King in Yellow sigue siendo su libro más reconocido, particularmente por su impacto en la mitología del horror. A pesar de haber escrito numerosas novelas, su legado se centra en la influencia que tuvo en el género del terror.
