VINTAGE CLASSICS' AMERICAN GOTHIC SERIESSpine-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'
