A review by melissajkelly
Four Gothic Novels: The Castle of Otranto; Vathek; The Monk; Frankenstein by William Beckford, Horace Walpole, Mary Shelley, Matthew Gregory Lewis

5.0

Having read two of the novels within this book; The Castle of Otranto and Frankenstein for my studies I thoroughly enjoyed both. Of course the Castle of Otranto was the first gothic novel to be written so it is bound to be far fetched but the plot although complex is compelling none the less. As for Frankenstein, Shelley's writing of it was amazing, it was made even more brilliant by the background research I had to do for an assignment on it. Would most definitely recommend to any avid gothic, horror story lovers.
