Vendetta
by Marie Corelli
Imagine that your friends and family believe you are dying of cholera - Imagine that you are buried alive and wake up in your coffin - Now imagine a frantic escape from a decaying crypt just to discover something worse waiting in the store.... Thus begins Marie Corelli's thriller thriller "Vendetta". Waking up to discover that he was buried prematurely, Fabio barely escapes the worn family mausoleum to take revenge on those who abused him. Shaped by cholera, Fabio adopts a new identity and name and reunites with his family, unaware of his true character. The plan he puts in place is terribly terrifying and delicious. More than a novel of revenge, Vendetta is a finely tuned exploration of its characters, the celebration of madness, obsession, decadence, and unique Gothic attitudes, even by Edgar Allan Poe. It's impossible to suppress, it's easy to understand why Marie Corelli was called the Victorian bestseller, because Vendetta is as magical today as it was more than a century ago.
