The Master of Seacliff (2007)
--
Nominated 2007
Lambda Literary Gay Men's Debut Fiction Awards
A gothic mystery with a decidedly masculine point of view
The year is 1899, and Andrew Wyndham is twenty years old--no longer a boy,
but not yet the man he longs to become. Brought up by a harsh and stingy
aunt and uncle in New York City after the death of his parents, young
Andrew dreams of life as an artist in Paris. He has talent enough but
lacks the resources to bring his dream to fruition. When a friend arranges
for him to work as tutor to the son of a wealthy patron of the arts,
Andrew sees a chance to make his dream come true and boards a train
heading up the Atlantic coast. His destination is the estate called
Seacliff, where he'll tutor his new charge and save his pay to make the
life he dreams of possible. But danger lurks everywhere and nothing is
quite as easy as it seems.
Seacliff: A dark and brooding cliff-top mansion enshrouded in near-eternal
fog, dark mystery, and suspicion--perhaps a reflection of the house's
master. An imposing Blackbeard of a man, Duncan Stewart is both feared and
admired by his business associates as well as the people he calls friends.
And his home, in which young Andrew must now reside, holds terrible
secrets, secrets that could destroy everyone within its walls.
