The Private Memoirs And Confessions Of A Justified Sinner

A psychological thriller before its time James Hogg’s Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner published in 1824 takes us back to the world of 18th-century Scotland into a mind haunted by religious obsession and driven to commit murder. The events are told from several different viewpoints so that truth and reality appear to dissolve in this disturbing story of the dark legacy of Calvinist doctrine and how it led one man to madness. Misunderstood and neglected for more than a century The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is now regarded as a classic of the supernatural comparable with Frankenstein Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or Dracula.
