#Halloween Countdown, Day 11

Some of the #Gothic works deemed “horrid” by #JaneAusten in 1817’s Northanger Abbey (“are you sure they are all horrid?”) are available online, so let’s shift this countdown to those dark and delicious novels. (One is The Children of the Abbey, already covered on Day 7.)

Today’s title is The Castle of Wolfenbach (1793) by #ElizaParsons.

Quote: “My Lord came here once or twice, but the ghosts made such a noise he could not stay. Several gentry have slept here at times, but no body would stay a second night, and so we have all to ourselves by day, and the ghosts, or what they be, have got all the rooms by night and then they be quiet enough.”
