    About this ebook

    "The Castle Spectre" is a dramatic romance in five acts by Matthew "Monk" Lewis. It is a Gothic drama set in medieval Conwy, Wales. The play is about Percy, the Count of Northumberland and his quest to gain the hand of the fair Lady Angela. Fearful of his rank lest she loves him on account of it, he pretends to be a peasant to win her affections. And he succeeds in this. But just before he proposes to her, she is whisked away by the Earl of Osmond. In order to get back his love, Percy will have to go to the Earl's castle, a foreboding place that is said to be haunted…

    M. G. Lewis

    Matthew Gregory Lewis, who is more commonly known as M.G Lewis (1775-1818) was an English writer, diplomat, and politician. Predominantly known for his work in the gothic horror genre, M.G Lewis wrote novels, poems, short stories, and works of nonfiction. Because his work often featured graphic depictions of sex and violence, Lewis gained almost an infamous reputation; his most popular novel, The Monk: A Romance was banned in England but still became a best-selling novel. Lewis was beloved for his bold and scandalous novels. His sinister writing has earned him a legacy of being a major figure in gothic fiction.
