Ritual in the Dark (Valancourt 20th Century Classics)

Bag om Ritual in the Dark (Valancourt 20th Century Classics)

London is in the grip of a terrifying serial killer who is murdering women in Whitechapel in a manner reminiscent of the Jack the Ripper slayings 70 years earlier. Against this backdrop, Gerard Sorme, a lonely young Londoner, is at work on his first novel, in which he intends to express his belief in the meaninglessness of life. His own life begins to change in unexpected ways when he begins an intimate friendship with Austin Nunne, a wealthy and charming gay man with violent sexual desires. As the murders continue and the investigation unfolds, Gerald suddenly finds himself haunted by a terrible suspicion: could his new friend have anything to do with the crimes? Colin Wilson's classic first novel, Ritual in the Dark (1960), remains a chilling page-turner, a brilliant fusion of thrilling murder mystery and existential philosophy. This edition features a foreword by Wilson scholar and bibliographer Colin Stanley and the author's introduction to the 1993 edition. 'Brilliant . . . Magnificent! Murder mystery raised to major art!' - Chicago Sun-Times 'Exhilarating reading' - The Listener 'What an unforgettable, really great evocation. Terrible and tragic insight ... an important book' - Sunday Times
