Midwest Book Review: Alcott's varied writings are lately receiving revived attention. This tale of lust and deception will satisfy any who wants a novel of psychological tension and high drama, as it explores a poor failing writer's price for giving his devotion to another. A complex, involving plot. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
This chilling tale of lust, deception and greed, first published anonymously in 1877, allowed Alcott the chance to exercise "the lurid style" she believed was her "natural ambition". A novel of psychological complexity that touches on the controversial subjects of sexuality and drug use, A Modern Mephistopheles is a penetrating and powerful study of human evil and its appalling consequences. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Not expected by the author of Little Women and Little Men,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Modern Mephistopheles (Paperback)
This book was both unexpected , because of the author, and predictable, as a Gothic novel. That the good must die and the evil must suffer for the death. But I did enjoy it.
