Description
Enter the dark, provocative world of The Priest, a masterwork of modern gothic horror and sharp social satire by the legendary Thomas M. Disch. This gripping narrative centers on Father Patrick Bryce, a man whose outward clerical devotion masks a labyrinth of disturbing secrets and moral decay. When Bryce is transferred to a suburban parish in Minnesota, his arrival sets off a chain of events that exposes the underbelly of religious institutions and the personal demons that haunt those within them.
Disch, a giant of speculative and literary fiction, delivers a story that is as intellectually stimulating as it is unsettling. The Priest explores themes of faith, hypocrisy, and the nature of evil with a biting wit and an unflinching eye. This is not just a horror novel; it is a psychological deep-dive into the architecture of the human soul.
This hardcover edition is a significant find for collectors of Disch’s work or enthusiasts of literary horror. In Like New condition, the book remains a pristine example of 1990s high-end publishing, making it an excellent addition to a permanent library.
