A young antiquarian in Providence, Rhode Island, becomes obsessed with Joseph Curwen, an eighteenth-century ancestor rumoured to have practised alchemy and worse. As Charles digs through old letters and buried vaults, his manner and even his body begin to change, and the family physician, Dr. Willett, sets out to learn what has really been raised.
