The Castle of Otranto

When a prince is killed in a most bizarre fashion on his wedding day, it sets in motion the events of the world's very first gothic novel! There are knights errant, ghosts, friars, fair ladies, plenty of emotion, a giant murderous helmet, and an ominous prophecy: "That the castle and lordship of Otranto should pass from the present family, whenever the real owner should be grown too large to inhabit it." Mystery, romance, and horror combine to create a fabulous tale that set the standard for all that have followed. Not to be missed!
