First published in 1764, The Castle of Otranto combines medieval romance with eerie apparitions to forge the blueprint of gothic fiction. When Prince Manfred schemes to wed the betrothed of his slain son, he sets off a chain of spectral visitations, hidden identities, and deadly pursuits through moonlit cloisters.
