Tale of Love and Madness By Ronald Baldwin In the shadowed streets of a decaying city, Nathaniel Thorne, a lonely scholar, becomes enthralled by a pale and distant beauty—Victoria. Her presence ignites an obsession that blurs the line between love and madness, life and death. As visions of the living and the dead intertwine, Nathaniel’s devotion grows darker, consuming his reason and leading him into acts of unspeakable horror.From the flicker of candlelight at her window to the chilling pulse beneath the floorboards,A Tale of Love and Madness is a Gothic descent into obsession, grief, and the terrifying lengths one heart will go to possess what it cannot truly own. Love, he learns, may be eternal—but at a price no sane mind can survive.
