What secrets lie buried in the dark woods-and in the depths of the human mind? Set in rural Pennsylvania in 1787, Edgar Huntly follows a young man's obsessive quest to uncover the truth behind his friend Waldegrave's mysterious murder. When Edgar encounters Clithero, a disturbed servant seen digging in the earth and speaking in his sleep, suspicion takes root-and with it, a descent into the eerie world of sleepwalking, hallucination, and psychological torment. As Edgar pursues Clithero through forests, caves, and nightmarish landscapes, he is forced to confront not only external dangers but the darkness within himself. What begins as a murder investigation becomes a chilling exploration of guilt, memory, and the fragile line between reason and madness. A landmark in early American Gothic fiction, Edgar Huntly blends suspense, philosophy, and psychological depth in a haunting tale that still resonates more than two centuries later. A forgotten classic of terror and introspection-bold, visionary, and unsettling. Charles Brockden Brown (January 17, 1771 - February 22, 1810) was an American novelist, historian, and editor of the Early National period.
