First published pseudonymously in 1764, The Castle of Otranto is purported to be an ancient Italian text from the time of the crusades and is a founding work of Gothic fiction. With its compelling blend of sinister portents, tempestuous passions, and ghostly visitations, it spawned an entire literary tradition and influenced such writers as Ann Radcliffe and Bram Stoker.

The best part though is I find the story quite humorous. The older prince trying to get answers out of people and them giving him all the information except what he wants. It comes of hilarious to me. Purple proses around the real answer. 😹😹😹
