    " Sur les bords de la Garonne existait en 1584, dans la province de Guyenne, le château de M. Saint-Aubert. De ses fenêtres on découvrait les riches paysages de la Guyenne, qui s'étendaient le long du fleuve, couronnés de bois, de vignes et d'oliviers. Au midi, la perspective était bornée par la masse imposante des Pyrénées, dont les sommets, tantôt cachés dans les nuages, tantôt laissant apercevoir leurs formes bizarres, se montraient quelquefois nus et sauvages au milieu des vapeurs bleuâtres de l'horizon, et quelquefois découvraient leurs pentes, le long desquelles de noirs sapins se balançaient, agités par les vents. D'affreux précipices contrastaient avec la douce verdure des pâturages et des bois qui les avoisinaient; des troupeaux, de simples chaumières reposaient les regards fatigués de l'aspect des abîmes. Au nord et à l'orient s'étendaient à perte de vue les plaines du Languedoc, et l'horizon se confondait au couchant avec les eaux du golfe de Gascogne. M. Saint-Aubert aimait à errer, accompagné de sa femme et de sa fille, sur les bords de la Garonne; il se plaisait à écouter le murmure harmonieux de ses eaux. Il avait connu une autre vie que cette vie simple et champêtre; il avait longtemps vécu dans le tourbillon du grand monde, et le tableau flatteur de l'espèce humaine, que son jeune c¿ur s'était tracé, avait subi les tristesaltérations de l'expérience. Néanmoins la perte de ses illusions n'avait ni ébranlé ses principes ni refroidi sa bienveillance: il avait quitté la multitude avec plus de pitié que de colère, et s'était borné pour toujours aux douces jouissances de la nature, aux plaisirs innocents de l'étude, à l'exercice enfin des vertus domestiques.

    Ann Radcliffe was an early pioneer of the Gothic novel, and 'The Haunted Chamber' is one of her best-known tales. A chilling and subtle ghost story, it is an excellent example of Radcliffe's genre-defining style. Many of the earliest ghost stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

    The Italian (1797) is a gripping tale of love and betrayal, abduction and assassination, and incarceration by the Inquisition. Radcliffe's last and most unnerving novel exemplifies her definition of 'terror' writing, combining Romantic and Gothic elements and influencing countless later writers.

    A novel of mystery and suspense in the Gothic style, The Romance of the Forest was considered by contemporary critics to be her finest novel.

    From the first moment Vincentio di Vivaldi, a young nobleman, sets eyes on the veiled figure of Ellena, he is captivated by her enigmatic beauty and grace. But his haughty and manipulative mother is against the match and enlists the help of her confessor to come between them. Schedoni, previously a leading figure of the Inquisition, is a demonic, scheming monk with no qualms about the task, whether it entails abduction, torture - or even murder. The Italian secured Ann Radcliffe's position as the leading writer of Gothic romance of the age, for its atmosphere of supernatural and nightmarish horrors, combined with her evocation of sublime landscapes and chilling narrative.
