kdawn999's review
2.0
A simple gothic vibes story when compared to The Mysteries of Udolpho or Dracula. I liked the little digs the townspeople have for the shepherd and the doctor characters, but the Scooby-do-reveal of the technology behind the phantasms isn’t as impressive from the vantage of the 21st century.

Tiene el toque de genialidad de Verne, sin dudas, aunque falla un poco en crear ese ambiente de terror y de misterio que promete la obra.

Sono stata ingannata perché qualcuno ha detto che si trattava del romanzo precursore di Dracula, ma l’unico elemento di Dracula presente è il castello…..
Ad ogni modo la storia è carina, sono solo partita con aspettative diverse.
Due stelle già le fa il suo stile narrativo.

A riff on Dracula, with a Verne twist. Fairly typical Verne characters, but a fun setting and an interesting plot.
If not as scientifically theoretical or adventurous as some of his others, it stands out for just being solid and well-paced. It doesn't spend any more time anywhere than it needs to, and there is something to be said for that.
