Maggiori informazioni sul libro
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. The Canterville Ghost is an irreverent mix of horror and humor. Canterville Chase is known for its troubled past, previously owned by Sir Simon de Canterville, who mysteriously disappeared after the murder of his wife. When the Otis family buys the property, they begin to notice a supernatural presence. However, unlike previous residents, they are more annoyed than afraid. Sir Simon's scare tactics fall flat, leading to a ghostly identity crisis. The Canterville Ghost subverts the expectations of the horror genre, presenting a family-friendly tale with Gothic elements balanced by slapstick humor. This entertaining story has been adapted across multiple mediums, including radio, film, and television, since its publication in 1887.
