In the shadow of the Salem Witch Trials, a long-dead covenant demands a living soul.
Seabury Quinn, the master of pulp horror from the golden age of Weird Tales, delivers a gripping tale of ancient curses and demonic retribution.
Is the Devil a Gentleman? is set in the grim, historical atmosphere of colonial New England in the wake of the infamous witch hunts. The story follows the descendants of a family haunted by a pact made centuries ago.
When a brave New England ship captain rescues and marries a Nordic woman--a woman later executed for witchcraft--he sets in motion a chain of events that will torment his offspring. Though the spirit of the witch protects her son and daughter from beyond the grave, the malevolent power of the Devil's bargain remains.
This story is a dark exploration of inherited curses and the question of whether a true evil can ever be defeated by human justice or even death. It combines historical terror with powerful supernatural elements, showcasing Quinn's ability to turn American folklore into a chilling classic of demonic suspense.
