The Castle of Otranto, hailed as the first Gothic novel, begins with the mysterious death of Manfred, Prince of Otranto's son, on his wedding day, struck by a massive helmet. This incident ignites a gripping tale filled with jealousy, intrigue, murder, and supernatural elements set against a backdrop of stormy weather and the ominous ambiance of a dark castle. Since its release in 1764, Horace Walpole's captivating story has become a cornerstone of the Gothic genre.
