Gaywyck Book

Originally published in 1980, Gaywyck, the first gay gothic romance, tread firmly in beloved territory, both honoring it and reinventing it. Classic in style, Vincent Virga creates a world as authentic as anything penned by DuMaurier, retaining the creaking ancestral mansion and mysterious and brooding master of the manor, while replacing the traditional damsel in distress with the young and handsome Robert Whyte, who was hired to catalog the vast library at Gaywyck. But before he can perform his real duty--of soothing the master's tortured heart--young Robert must first uncover the hidden evil lurking in the background and dodge murder and blackmail to root out the dark family secrets threatening to destroy him. Praised for its authentic use of language and setting as well as its honest portrayal of gay life and love in fin di secle America, Gaywyck is a classic of both gay and gothic fiction.Read More
