Pickpick

Wieland is the first true American Gothic novel, rife with spontaneous combustions, mass murders, and divine influence; most eerie of all, it was based on a true story. I first read this novel for a class three years ago and still periodically think about it -- creepy with incredible staying power.

"This, in the effects which immediately flowed from it, I count among the most extraordinary incidents of my life. This face, seen for a moment, continued for hours to occupy my fancy, to the exclusion of almost every other image."
