On the day of his wedding, Conrad, heir to the house of Otranto, is killed under mysterious circumstances. His calculating father Manfred fears that his dynasty will now end and decides to marry his son’s bride himself—despite already being married. A series of terrifying supernatural omens soon threatens this unlawful union, as the curse placed on Manfred’s ancestor, who usurped the lawful Prince of Otranto, begins to unfold. First published pseudonymously in 1764, purporting to be an ancient Italian text from the time of the Crusades, *The Castle of Otranto* is a founding work of Gothic fiction. With its compelling blend of sinister portents, tempestuous passions, and ghostly visitations, it spawned an entire literary tradition and influenced writers such as Ann Radcliffe and Bram Stoker.
