Beskrivelse af White Devil, The
Sex, Death, and Boarding SchoolWhen seventeen-year-old Andrew Taylor is transplanted from his American high school to a British boarding school?the English, hypertraditional, all-boys Harrow School?he finds his past mistakes following him, with an added element of horror: visions of a pale, white-haired boy from Harrow's past. Either Andrew is losing his mind, or the house legend about his dormitory being haunted is true.When one of his schoolmates dies mysteriously of a severe pulmonary illness, Andrew is blamed and spurned by nearly all his peers. In his loneliness and isolation, Andrew becomes obsessed with Lord Byron's story and the poet's status not only as a literary genius and infamous seducer but also as a student at the very different Harrow of two centuries ago?a place rife with violence, squalor, incurable diseases, and tormented love affairs.When frightening and tragic events from that long-ago past start to recur in Harrow's present, and Andrew's haunting begins to seem all too real, he is forced to solve a two-hundred-year-old mystery that threatens the lives of his friends and his teachers?and, most terrifyingly, his own.
