In Anthony Pickup's Darkness: The Corruption of Sarah Jane, the limits of how much the human mind can take before madness takes over is brilliantly and eerily depicted. Sarah Jane Flint is born into a happy and religious family in 1830. Her father is gainfully employed and her mother and sister consider little Sarah another blessing to the family. But life deals Sarah a blow when, at the age of nine, her mother suddenly dies. Years pass and Sarah's sister marries and moves far away, leaving Sarah to take care of their ailing father. When the money runs out, father and daughter are separated and are forced to live in a parish workhouse where Sarah will soon learn what evil is in human form -- Mrs. Leach, an abusive supervisor who mistreats her and steals the only thing Sarah has left from her mother, a family locket. But Sarah has her revenge and, over the next few years, an unimaginable fury is unleashed that Sarah cannot and will not contain. Where is this God she put her faith in so many years ago and why did he desert her? Pickup's novel is a terrifying web of murder, deception and explores what happens to the psyche when it is broken and falls into madness. What happens to the soul when it is destroyed?
