Nicholas Daly, Trinity College, Dublin ...this edition will be coveted by everyone interested in late Victorian fiction. J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine I enthusiastically recommend this book. Jonathan Dollimore, author of Sexual Dissidence (Oxford University Press, 1991) and Death, Desire and Loss in Western Culture (Penguin, 2001) ...introduction is excellent, bringing lots of fascinating material to bear on the novel and doing so clearly and persuasively. Book Description A face looked into mine, and, in front of me, were those dreadful eyes. Then, whether I was dead or living, I said to myself that this could be nothing human,--nothing fashioned in God's image could wear such a shape as that. Fingers were pressed into my cheeks, they were thrust into my mouth, they touched my staring eyes, shut my eyelids, then opened them again, and--horror of horrors!--the blubber lips were pressed to mine--the soul of something evil entered into me in the guise of a kiss.
