The Monk: A Romance

Read it a year ago. Don't really remember much of it, except I remember the characters motivations not making any sense. Characters just suddenly become evil. Almost camp a la Castle of Otronto but not even camp enough to be good in that sense. At times just feels like it tries to be shocking for the sake of being shocking, but not in a way that is entertaining. Kept reading expecting it to get good but it never did. Feels like it was part of a dialogue that has long since been over.
