- You settle into a bleak Sicilian castle with Julia and Emilia Manton, where hidden passages, stormy landscapes, and overheard voices do most of the haunting. It’s slow and extravagantly melodramatic, but rewarding if you like Gothic atmosphere more than psychological subtlety.
- You follow Emily St Aubert from sunlit France into the oppressive corridors of Udolpho, where music, shadows, and a black veil keep your nerves pleasantly busy. It’s long, ornate, and sometimes dramatically overwrought, but the atmosphere is so carefully sustained that the castle starts haunting you too.
