Sinopsis

Mysterious, atmospheric, and hauntingly unforgettable, The Lost Stradivarius is a masterful blend of Gothic fiction, psychological suspense, and supernatural intrigue that draws readers into a world where music and obsession become dangerously intertwined.

The discovery of a rare and enigmatic violin sets in motion a chain of events that gradually transforms the lives of those who come under its influence. As strange occurrences multiply and an unsettling presence begins to emerge, the boundary between reason and the unknown becomes increasingly uncertain.

John Meade Falkner crafts an atmosphere of mounting tension through elegant prose, richly detailed settings, and a profound understanding of the power of suggestion and mystery. Ancient traditions, hidden histories, and unexplained forces combine to create a story that lingers long after the final page has been turned.

Beyond its elements of suspense and the supernatural, the novel explores themes of ambition, temptation, artistic passion, and the hidden costs of obsession. The psychological depth of its characters and the gradual unfolding of its mysteries give the story a timeless and compelling quality.

Perfect for readers who enjoy classic Gothic literature, supernatural mysteries, and finely crafted tales of suspense, The Lost Stradivarius remains one of the most distinctive and memorable works of late nineteenth-century fiction, offering an enthralling journey into beauty, mystery, and the unknown.

    They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
    But first, they give me their confessions. 
    The theme of these confessions: Original+Bloody+Twisted Fairytales = the perfect bedtime story, right? 
    My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
    Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
    The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
    Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
    Inside this book are 3 DeathBed Confessions with a ‘twisted fairytale' theme: 
    Patient Kevin – think Modern Day Sleeping Beauty – with a twist 
    Patient Jesi – there’s a resemblance to Rapunzel that is kind of scary 
    Patient Oliver – he reminds me of Cinderella…with a thing for shoes 
    WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?
