Summary

To be unwanted and unloved can cause such pain that our search for salvation can lead us to the most unlikely places - and into the arms of the strangest people.

What if one such quest found only an imaginary friend? Is the character of Sebastian in Temptation and Denial just an imaginary friend or something more - something supernatural?

In Tibetan Buddhism, the Tulpa is a being envisioned by the imagination and which then becomes an entity capable of independent life, but what happens to such a being after he who imagined it dies?

Lord Byron once wrote that the mind can make substance and give breath to a form that can outlive all flesh. Was he right?

Temptation and Denial is a story of just such a journey. Set in the mountains and valleys of Georgian-era Wales, Temptation and Denial is a ghostly tale of an immortal love - a love that transcends physical death.

Following on from the cult success of his Grim Fairy Tales, Adam Nicke again explores the tortured Gothic world of Dark Romanticism.

So atmospheric.

I have read the book but hearing it on Audible, really brought it to life.
