Description

Despite multiple warnings, Horace B. Otis and his family move to Canterville Chase, a sprawling English manor with a dark history and a lingering guest. From the brilliant mind of Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost is an irreverent mix of horror and humor. Canterville Chase is an English estate known for its troubled past. It was previously owned by a nobleman, Sir Simon de Canterville, who suddenly disappeared after the murder of his wife. When the Otis family buys the property they begin to notice a supernatural presence. Yet, unlike the previous residents, they’re more annoyed than afraid. Sir Simon’s scare tactics fall flat, leading to a ghostly identity crisis. The Canterville Ghost is an entertaining story that subverts the expectations of the horror genre. It’s a family friendly tale with Gothic elements balanced by slapstick humor. Since its publication in 1887, The Canterville Ghost has been adapted across multiple mediums including radio, film and television. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Canterville Ghost is both modern and readable.
