Quatre destins, une même époque : plongez dans l’Angleterre médiévale à travers des récits où intrigues royales, amours interdites et mystères historiques s’entremêlent.
First published in 1929, public domain. Dickon is one of several fictional treatments of the last Plantagenet king wherein the author argued for his innocence in the murder of his nephews and presented him as a good man and potentially a very good king.
Witches, spells, ghosts, pacts with the Devil, occult rituals, love triangles, popes and the Anti-Christ are some of the ingredients of this chilling early horror work (set in the middle-ages) by Marjorie Bowen that some consider to be the ultimate Gothic Novel. With enough suspenseful plot twists and turns to keep most listeners on edge guessing till the very end. (Summary by kadath)
