The Entail (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

By E.T.A. Hoffmann

A crumbling castle on the wild Baltic coast, a family gnawed by an ancient curse, and footsteps that echo in the dead of night - The Entail is E. T. A. Hoffmann's chilling masterwork of Gothic dread.

First published in 1817 among his celebrated Night Pieces, this haunting tale of inheritance, madness, and buried crime is one of the great German ghost stories. Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776 - 1822), born in K nigsberg, East Prussia, was a jurist, composer, and a master of the uncanny whose shadowy tales shaped the course of Romantic literature.
