Reading The Wyvern Mystery | Alexandria
Read The Wyvern Mystery by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Unearthing Gothic horror's darkest secrets, The Wyvern Mystery combines psychological terror with supernatural dread as a young woman discovers her new husband's sinister past. Le Fanu's masterful portrayal of gaslighting and domestic abuse predates modern understanding of these issues by a century, while challenging Victorian assumptions about marriage's sanctity through its shocking revelation that true evil often wears a gentleman's face.
