Zastrozzi, A Romance by Percy Bysshe Shelley audiobook.
Genre: horror
Percy Bysshe Shelley's early Gothic novella follows the young nobleman Verezzi as he is drawn into a web of abduction, pursuit, and psychological torment engineered by the mysterious Zastrozzi. Driven by a powerful private vendetta, Zastrozzi is a dark, commanding figure whose schemes reach far beyond simple violence, touching questions of desire, pride, and moral corruption. As Verezzi struggles to escape his persecutor, he becomes entangled with two very different women: the passionate and manipulative Matilda, who is determined to possess him at any cost, and the gentle Julia, whose devotion offers a fragile hope of peace. Set against a backdrop of ruined grandeur, intense emotion, and looming menace, the story explores obsession, revenge, and the destructive force of unchecked ambition. Shelley's style is dramatic and feverish, filling the novel with confrontations, confessions, and philosophical tension as each character is pushed by longing or hatred toward dangerous choices. Zastrozzi, A Romance is both a sensational Gothic tale and an early glimpse of Shelley's fascination with extreme feeling, rebellion, and the darker corners of the human mind.
