Book Overview

A Comedy of Terrors is a novel written by James DeMille and first published in 1872. The book is a satirical take on the Gothic genre and follows the misadventures of a group of travelers who find themselves stranded in a mysterious castle in the Carpathian Mountains. The group includes a young American couple, a British lord, a French artist, and a German scientist. As they explore the castle, they encounter a series of bizarre and terrifying events, including ghosts, secret passages, and a mad scientist's laboratory. However, as the story unfolds, the travelers begin to suspect that the horrors they are experiencing are not entirely real and that they may be part of an elaborate hoax. A Comedy of Terrors is a witty and entertaining parody of the Gothic genre, poking fun at the conventions and clich�����s of the genre while delivering a thrilling and suspenseful story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
