The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole – Audiobook
The Castle of Otranto
is regarded as the
first Gothic novel, a genre appealing to a taste for terror and set in a
remote past when prodigies and magic can be imagined to have existed,
with violent contrasts between purity and ungoverned passions. The
author represents the tale as having been translated from a black letter
Italian volume of the 15th century but describing much earlier events.
This fictional antiquity and the depiction of mysterious wonders, dark
subterranean passages, fearsome apparitions, marvelous coincidences, and
especially a savage threat to spotless innocence are all typical of
this genre, which does not assure a reader of a happy ending. (Summary
