A masterwork of occult thriller fiction, To the Devil — A Daughter chronicles the terrifying ordeal of Christina Bentinck, a young woman whose soul has been pledged to the forces of darkness by her own father through a sinister pact with a renegade monk turned Satanic high priest. American thriller writer John Fountain becomes entangled in a desperate race to save Christina before a diabolical ritual can be completed, drawing him into a shadowy world of black magic, secret cults, and ancient evil that Wheatley renders with chilling authenticity. The novel sustains a relentless atmosphere of dread and supernatural menace, blending meticulous research into occult practices with pulse-pounding suspense that keeps the reader gripped from the first page to the last. Wheatley argues implicitly throughout that the forces of evil are not mere superstition but a genuine and organized threat to the modern world, lending the narrative an unsettling conviction that elevates it far beyond ordinary genre fiction. First published in 1953, it remains one of the most compelling entries in Wheatley's celebrated canon of Satanic thrillers and inspired a notable 1976 film adaptation.
