Aprašymas

A family curse reaches out through time to damn a young man in Victorian Cornwall. The Revanant is possessed with supernatural life and power, but tainted by morbid desires, marked by human despair.

„... I closed my eyes. But the demons of my imagination allowed me no escape. For it seemed I saw then still, far away, beyond the darkness in my head. And as they writhed in each other's arms I shuddered, for it appeared that a macabre transformation was taking place. That their skin was beginning to wither from their bodies, their hair drop out, their eyes to bulge then fall from the sockets, until at last they were no more than two twitching masses of muscle, tissue and pumping organs. And then these things in their turn shrivelled away, blackening and dissolving into nothing until at last only white bones remained: two skeletons locked together in a fearsome embrace, still intent on spending their deathly passions. And it was as their awful lipless mouths met in the grinning parody of a kiss that there jolted through my brain the fear that again I tottered near the brink of some awesome madness.“

Shades of Poe and other masters of Gothic horror; the classic themes of Terror Literature rise again to haunt you in „The Revenants“.
