Hard back novel - Folio Society, London, 1978. 

Very good condition throughout running to 226 pages with artists linocuts. 

Bound in red buckram with a black linocut illustration in a fine slipcase, as new, good clean unmarked copy.

Set chiefly in strife-ridden 18thC Scotland, this book tells the story of a young man whose debased calvinism leaves him vulnerable to the insidious logic of a mysteriously diabolic stranger. He then commits a series of heinous but allegedly "justified" crimes. 

Hogg's novel first published in 1824, anticipates work by Poe, Hawthorne and Melville.
