Read Matthew Lewis' The Monk a good while ago. Ponderous but in its day absolutely shocking! Judging by what some bloggers have written they have never read the book!
I am now, if my failing eyes let me, trying to read the 551 pages The Skeleton Crew, or, Wildfire Ned (published 1866~1867).
Mad does not cover it but if you are not used to Victorian prose as used in "Penny Dreadfuls" look out!
I do hope I survive to the end.....of the book!
jjjjjj
