El señor de la noche

El Señor de la Noche by Joseph Berna This Spanish-language novel opens with three parallel narrative threads. Chapter One follows Trevor Bingham, a wealthy 27-year-old who drives his girlfriend Alice Copeland, an 18-year-old blonde, from London to a medieval castle he has recently inherited from his ancestor Baron Frederick Ramsey. Alice, a virgin, agrees to surrender her virginity to Trevor after he declares his love. Chapter Two introduces Gary Moore, a 28-year-old newspaper reporter for *El Correo Londinense*, who arrives two hours late to pick up his girlfriend Sheila Norton for dinner. Sheila's fury manifests in physical violence—she strikes him with a vase, then a jar—but their struggle culminates in passionate lovemaking. Chapter Three returns to Trevor and Alice in the castle's vestibule, where Trevor mentions showing her Baron Ramsey's tomb in the crypt, though Alice prefers to focus on their romantic intentions. The narrative combines romantic and sexual content with gothic elements.
