After a three year absence and a terrifying journey through the
Black Forest, young Sir Albert has returned to Dornheim, eager to
see again his friend Lord Frederic and his true love, the lady
Constance. But his joy on his homecoming is short-lived when he
learns he has rivals for Constance's love.
The Baron of Dornheim is set to marry her in three days, and
anxious to prevent the marriage and wed her himself, Frederic
solicits the horrified Albert to assassinate the Baron.
Determined to spare Constance a future with either the aged
Dornheim or the murderous Frederic, Albert plots to rescue her from
her father's castle. But when their plans are discovered, and a
band of assassins are sent to murder Albert, he flees to the
haunted Cavern of Death, where a phantom, a skeleton, and a bloody
sword will reveal an unspeakable murder and the long-concealed
secret of his own birth.
Phenomenally popular in both England and the United States upon
its publication in 1794, "The Cavern of Death" was among the most
influential and widely-read of early Gothic novels. This new
edition includes a new introduction and notes for modern readers.
