520 _a"Fearful Rock" by Manly Wade Wellman is a fiction novel written in the late 1930s. This eerie tale unfolds during the American Civil War, centering on the strange and malevolent character of Persil Mandifer and his adoptive daughter, Enid, who discovers unsettling truths about her origins and her intended fate. The narrative promises themes of dark powers and supernatural elements interwoven with the historical backdrop of the war, raising questions about identity and sacrifice. The opening of the novel introduces us to Enid Mandifer, who is shocked to learn that Persil is not her biological father. As she grapples with this revelation, Persil explains that her marriage has been predetermined to a mysterious force known as the Nameless One, which requires the offering of a bride. Meanwhile, the story’s tense atmosphere thickens with the presence of her enormous and unsettling brother, Larue. The setting forms a blend of personal drama and supernatural dread, as Enid's life becomes entwined with ancient evil and the ominous expectations of her adoptive family. The narrative quickly shifts to Lieutenant Kane Lanark, who is patrolling during the war, and will likely intersect with Enid's fate in unexpected ways. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
