I had the audiobook and enjoyed it. I love novellas and this didn‘t disappoint.

A fun little gothic novella. There are some beautiful, picturesque scenes that unfold on the page and some truly eccentric characters. I quite enjoyed it, though I was surprised that the title character wasn't introduced until half way through.

I'll stop there for fear of spoilers, but it's worth a read.

This took me awhile to get into (same with older gothic stuff thinking about it) but it grew on me a lot and left me very intrigued with a desire to read some more classic gothic literature so I'm looking for recommendations!

Bambolina_81 I love this genre...how about...The Mysteries of Udolpho, Northanger Abbey, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dracula 😮

The Monk: A Romance

smccallum @Bambolina_81 Thank you! I read Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde many years ago but I'll certainly look into the others 👍 7y

quirkyreader Also try more stuff by Stevenson. He wrote some goodies. 7y

ZachHerman Obvious suggestion, but I am working through Dracula. It's not the best Gothic novel, but it's the one I'd be most excited to have written. 7y
