About the author

Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford — also known as Horace Walpole — was an English art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. He is now largely remembered for Strawberry Hill, the home he built in Twickenham, south-west London where he revived the Gothic style some decades before his Victorian successors, and for his Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto. Along with the book, his literary reputation rests on his Letters, which are of significant social and political interest. He was the son of Sir Robert Walpole, and cousin of Lord Nelson.

Reviews

[Dan Brand · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exactly what it says: A big arsed collection of history's most famous gothic tales. Famous doesn't always mean good. Some are hopelessly long-winded. There are excesses of both purple prose, and dry, plodding writing in here. But, hey, it's sixty of the most iconic gothic stories, some novel-length, ever written. If you've the slightest interest in gothic, get this.

Mixed bag but the classics worth the read
