Wieland

In the American colonies, a German immigrant founds a secretive religious sect before dying mysteriously. His children, Clara and Theodore Wieland, continue to reside on his property, and, despite the tragedy of their father’s death, attempt to lead normal, prosperous lives. When they begin to hear voices, and when a strange man named Carwin appears, the ghosts of the past invade the idyllic world they have managed to make for themselves. Wieland weaves a tale of horror that continues to surprise over two hundred years after its publication.
