A review by dianeec
The Devil's Elixirs by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Ian Sumter

5.0

Difficult to summarise but a very fast read, The Devil's Elixirs is a psychedelic novel of the 19th century with all the elements of the Gothic genre: sinful monks, damesels in distress, madness, mystery and supernatural elements.
This is the best book I've read in a while and one I'd like to read again in the future.
