Publisher Description
Two young members of the family, Roseline and Edwin, search for the source of strange, unearthly cries and discover a terrifying secret in the castle's bowels which will change their lives forever. The story combines the classic Gothic tropes of mystery, betrayal and a heroine in peril in suitably imposing surroundings and has been praised in modern times for its proto-feminist sensibility. The young women in the story keep their fates in their own hands, rather than wait for some dashing hero to come to the rescue.
Customer Reviews
True Gothic
To understand the origins of Gothic horror, this story is a must. When first published it must have been considered a frightening book. How far we have come. However, the plot and characters spin a tale of human mystery that lends much to the imagination. Is there a derelict imprisoned in the castle's subterranean passages? Was that a ghost floating through the antechamber? Will the maiden survive the terrors of her heart and mind?
