«Il morbo di Haggard» is the gothic novel by Patrick McGrath, published by Adelphi in paperback (208 pages, in Italian).
In 1940s London, Dr Haggard receives James Vaughan, a young aviator who claims the doctor knew his mother. That encounter draws him into confessing an obsessive love that consumed his life three years earlier. As he relives it, Haggard releases a dark force that draws him closer to Vaughan, whose unsettling resemblance to his mother is not enough to explain everything.
«Il morbo di Haggard» was originally published in English as «Dr Haggard's Disease» (1993); this Italian edition, translated by Annamaria Raffo, belongs to the Fabula collection.
A read for those seeking gothic fiction, psychological horror, and the atmosphere of wartime London.
