The Monster

Listen to *The Monster* by Stephen Crane, a stark American novella about a doctor's loyalty, a town's fear and the price of doing the right thing. In Whilomville, a fire leaves a heroic man horribly disfigured, and Dr. Trescott refuses to abandon him. As neighbours turn from admiration to dread, Crane exposes how quickly a community can turn on its own conscience. Perfect for listeners who enjoy classic American fiction, psychological realism, moral drama and short novels.
