bookdawg 's review for:
The Castle of Otranto
by Horace Walpole
DID NOT FINISH: 0%
Honestly I don't really get why this is considered gothic besides the fact that it's in a castle and there's a bad guy. It reads more like a Shakespearean comedy or romance and there is nothing at all spooky about it.
The introduction was interesting and offered historical context, which was helpful, but did not make the book itself any better. Disappointing if you're looking for a gothic story!
