Castle of otranto

Horace Walpole (Author), Michael Gamer (Editor)
With this title, Walpole established the Gothic as a literary form in England. It was first published as a scholarly translation from an ancient Italian text, a supernatural tale of a fatal prophecy set in the time of the crusades and one which inspired terror in its early readers.
