Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this anthology we see a dozen examples of Gothic literature, spanning over 150 years from Mary Shelley and Charles Maturin, through to an unexpected master of the macabre, Gerald Durrell. All feature sinister settings of castles and ancient houses, with the protagonists haunted by the tyranny of the past, and physically or spiritually incarcerated by their circumstances.
