  From the author of Remains of the Dead,a group of strangers struggles to survive in an office block as a zombie apocalypse rages outside. 
   
  The world is infected. The dead are reanimating and attacking the living. In a city being overrun with ravenous corpses, people find safety where they can. A disparate group of strangers drawn together by chance seek sanctuary from the carnage outside in an empty office block. Besieged by an army of walking dead and with little hope of rescue, the group must learn to work together if they are going to survive. But for how long can the barricades hold back the ever-increasing hordes of undead? How long before the food runs out? How long before those who were bitten succumb to the infection? And how long before they realise that the dead outside are the least of their fears?

  A pious monk is driven by sexual desire into the depths of sin and depravity in this eighteenth-century classic of Gothic fiction. 
   
  Ambrosio is the abbot of the Capuchin monastery in Madrid. He is beloved by his flock, and his renowned piety has earned him the nickname The Man of Holiness. Yet beneath the veneer of this religious man lies a heart of hypocrisy; arrogant, licentious, and vengeful, he follows his sexual desires down the torturous path to ruin. Along the way, he encounters a naïve virgin who falls prey to his scheming, a baleful beauty fluent in witchcraft, the ghostly Bleeding Nun, an evil prioress, the Wandering Jew, and Lucifer himself. 
   
  Matthew Lewis’s The Monk shocked and titillated readers with its graphic portrayal of lust, sin, and violence when it was first published in 1796. It was so controversial that the House of Commons—of which Lewis was a member—pronounced him licentious and perverse. A true classic of the Gothic novel, it left an indelible mark on English literature and has influenced such eminent writers as Byron, Scott, Poe, Flaubert, Hawthorne, Emily Brontë, and many others. 
   
  This edition of The Monk, set from the unexpurgated first edition, includes an introduction by John Berryman.
