The Monk
The Monk: A Romance is a Gothic novel by Matthew Gregory Lewis, published in 1796. A quickly written book from early in Lewis's career (it was written in ten weeks, before he turned 20), its convoluted and scandalous plot has made it one of the most important Gothic novels of its time, often imitated and adapted for the stage and the screen.

Somnia, terrores magicos, miracula, sagas,
Nocturnos lemures, portentaque.

"Dreams, magic terrors, spells of mighty power,
Witches, and ghosts who rove at midnight hour."
"The mind gets confused and
wanders groping in a thick darkness."
