The Horrific Sufferings Of The Mind-Reading Monster Hercules Barefoot: His Wonderful Love And His Terrible Hatred - Plot & Excerpts
The crowd outside the monastery in the village of Heisterbach, Upper Silesia, had grown and been joined by folk from other widely scattered mountain villages. For the rumours about the miracle worker had, at a given point in time, crossed the boundary at which temptation becomes mass hysteria. He was woken at dawn by knocking at his door. Opening it, he found Kippenberg standing outside in the corridor, clad only in his nightshirt. “What’s up?” he asked. The abbot, deathly pale, was holding a candle in his hand. “Hurry,” he hissed, “for God’s sake! They’re storming the building!” Schuster dressed swiftly, stuffed his rosary into his breeches pocket and sent a guilty prayer excusing himself for neglecting the paternosters he’d sworn to say first thing that morning. In the novices’ dormitory, where half-dressed men were running around looking for their belongings, total chaos reigned. Schuster sensed the terror in their prayers, one was sobbing, another weeping. Panic was rife.
