About this listen

 A powerful novel examining the nature of evil, informed by the works of T. S. Eliot and Freud, mythology, local lore, and hard-boiled detective fiction, Sanctuary is the dark, at times brutal, story of the kidnapping of Mississippi debutante Temple Drake. She introduces her own form of venality into the Memphis underworld where she is being held.©1958 William Faulkner (P)2005 Random House, Inc. Classics Fiction Genre Fiction Gothic Horror Literary Fiction Small Town & Rural Scary

Faulkner gives a masterclass in character development and simple, but devastating narrative. Containing possibly the most evil and pitiful characters in the fiction canon, Faulkner gives us Popey, a loath, repulsive but pathetic creature who transcends ‘Sanctuary’ as the paragon of all future villains
