The Castle of Wolfenbach: A German Story (Gothic Classics) by Eliza Parsons

5.0

This is one of the books mentioned in the Jane Austen novel Northanger Abbey. At one time the list of books was thought to be fictional. However, it was discovered they were actual novels. These books are now described as "horrid" novels. Also, see " With this Ring" by Amanda Quick. These books were wildly popular in their time, and Miss Austen's novel poked fun at the melodrama, but one can see why they were so popular. I really enjoyed it. Loved it, in fact. An editor would have been great back in those days, because there were times when I was confused as to who was speaking. But, the language was very modern,except for a few words being spelled differently than we are used to. There are no chapters, just volume 1 and volume 2. It is just a little over 200 pages. These books are available in a trade size paperback size from Amazon. Reasonably priced. I am not sure if they are available for the kindle but they might be.
Highly recommended for the gothic fan.
