VINTAGE CLASSICS' AMERICAN GOTHIC SERIES Spine-tingling mind-altering and deliciously
atmospheric journey into the dark side of America with nine of its most uncanny classics.
Hester Prynne is a beautiful young woman. She is also an outcast. In the eyes of her neighbours
she has committed an unforgivable sin. Everyone knows that her little daughter Pearl is the
product of an illicit affair but no one knows the identity of Pearl's father. Hester's refusal
to name him brings more condemnation upon her. But she stands strong in the face of public
scorn even when she is forced to wear the sign of her shame sewn onto her clothes: the scarlet
letter 'A' for 'Adulteress'
