Seven Masterpieces of Gothic Horror

3.4/5 ( ratings)

When the scientific and the rational worlds become oppressive, a reaction usually takes places, and in the eighteenth century one such reaction was the Gothic novel. The supernatural, romantic fantasy, mystery and terror crept into fiction in the age of Enlightenment, and this Gothic underground has prevailed to our own day. In this collection, which includes Horace Walpole's the Castle of Otranto, tales by Clara Reeve, Mary Shelley and "Monk" Lewis, Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of The House of Usher, The White Old Maid by Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, some of the masterpieces of this pervasive twilight fiction are found.
