A Modern Mephistopheles
Louisa May Alcott
Known for her beloved children's classics, Louisa May Alcott's true zeal was for writing sensational literature-stories and novels that she chose to have published anonymously or under the pseudonym A. M. Barnard. Her favorite of these works was A Modern Mephistophelles, which appeared anonymously in 1877.
This chilling tale of greed, lust, and deception opens on a midwinter night when Felix Canaris, a despairing writer about to take his own life, is saved by a knock at the door. The mysterious visitor, a Jasper Helwyze, promises Felix fame and fortune in return for his complete devotion. Helwyze then plots to corrupt the overly ambitious Felix by cleverly manipulating the beautiful and innocent Gladys. and when Helwyze decides that he wants Gladys for himself, Felix must defend the adoring young woman from the destructive influence of his diabolical patron.
