Worth reading to understand Gothic fiction’s roots, but not a masterpiece. Some parts were genuinely creepy, others dull.

It was okay. A bit slow for modern readers, but you can see the seeds of later Gothic masterpieces. Not my favorite, but historically important.

Dated but interesting. It’s easy to see why this book started a genre. Some parts dragged a bit, though.

Great example of early Gothic literature. A little slow at times, but the atmosphere is fantastic.

A quick, atmospheric read. The plot is a bit absurd, but it’s the first Gothic novel, so I can forgive its flaws. Enjoyable if you appreciate the genre’s origins.
