Vileroy or The Horrors of Zindorf Castle (Illustrated and Annotated)

Vileroy or The Horrors of Zindorf Castle (Illustrated and Annotated)

Thomas Peckett Prest
3.5/5 ( ratings)
THE CLASSIC GOTHIC ROMANCE AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

This epic, gripping romance-thriller from Thomas Peckett Prest, the creator of Sweeney Todd is available in a beautifully formatted e-book for the very first time.

'Zindorff' was wildly popular in the 1850s, outselling works by Dickens and Thackeray, but has now largely been forgotten. All the tropes of the early 'penny dreadful' are here: a quintessential Gothic romance, replete with incidents of physical and psychological terror; remote, crumbling castles; seemingly supernatural events; a brooding, scheming villain; and a persecuted heroine.

*Fully annotated with original essays "What is a Penny Dreadful?" and "Who wrote Vileroy?"

*Illustrated with 50 original drawings from the first edition formatted for the Kindle.

*Active Table of Contents for each chapter accessible from the Kindle "go to" feature.
*Perfect formatting in rich text compatible with Kindle's Text-to-Speech features.
