Wireland of the Transformation was published in 1798 and is
considered to be the first American gothic novel. The novel takes
place in rural Pennsylvania in the 1760's. It is based on a true
story of a murder committed by an insane farmer. A flash of light
killed the farmer's fanatic father and the farmer is commanded to
sacrifice his wife and children by an unearthly voice. This
sacrifice will be a sign of his obedience to heaven. This is not a
book for the faint of heart containing such gothic elements as
spontaneous combustion, ventriloquism, and religious fanaticism!
