The Castle of Wolfenbach (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169281110)

The Castle of Wolfenbach is a Gothic novel written by Eliza Parsons. The story follows the adventures of Matilda, a young orphaned woman who is sent to live with her aunt at the Castle of Wolfenbach. As she settles into her new home, Matilda begins to uncover dark secrets about the castle's past and the mysterious disappearance of her aunt's husband. Along the way, she encounters a range of sinister characters, including a cruel and manipulative governess and a masked stranger who seems to be following her every move. As the plot thickens, Matilda must use all of her wit and courage to unravel the castle's secrets and protect herself from those who would do her harm. Combining Gothic horror with elements of romance and adventure, The Castle of Wolfenbach is a thrilling and suspenseful read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.The whole affair is certainly very strange: often has the Marquis vowed to apply either to the Count or courts of justice; but the letters we received were never written by her, we could adduce no actual proofs of his guilt, and she continually warned us to take no steps without her permission. Thus, in a most unaccountable manner we are prohibited from doing her justice, whilst all the world believes her dead: he lives chiefly at Vienna, a dissipated life; though from my friend I hear he is at times gloomy, and apparently unhappy: this gentleman however believes my sister and her child dead, nor dare I undeceive him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
