About this book

Ambrosio, a pious monk, finds himself drawn to his pupil, Matilda, a young woman in disguise. Unable to control himself, he sates his lust, and soon tires of her. But Matilda has more than her body to offer. As his desperate acts become more and more depraved, it becomes clear that Matilda is not everything she seems.

About Unknown Author

Matthew Gregory Lewis (9 July 1775 – 14 or 16 May 1818)[1] was an English novelist and dramatist, whose writings are often classified as "Gothic horror". He was frequently referred to as "Monk" Lewis, because of the success of his 1796 Gothic novel, *The Monk*. He also worked as a diplomat, politician, and an estate owner in Jamaica. **Source**: [Matthew Lewis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Gregory_Lewis) on Wikipedia.
