In a postmodern Gothic tale, Sarah Perry (THE ESSEX SERPENT) takes listeners on a haunting journey to discover the existence of Melmoth, a dark-robed figure of ancient tales. Helen, a modern-day translator living in Prague, uncovers the dark history of the elusive monster, the “witness” who watches humanity’s darkest deeds. Jan Cramer wraps listeners in the creepy, unsettling cloak of this fantasy. Published by Harper Audio.
