| Publisher Description: "...one could be forgiven for dismissing her as a rather dismal, unqualified heroine." Catherine Morland, an awkward young lady enchanted by gothic novels and their promise of adventure, finds those promises unexpectedly fulfilled. Her simple holiday to Bath has taken quite the turn, becoming a contest against vampires, hellhounds, supper invitations, and usuriously priced muslin. The reluctant Catherine takes up cross and stake to pursue the vampire-hunting trade in as ladylike a fashion as she can. But she is herself pursued by a blood drinker as enamoured of her as he is of history and architecture. When the amiable Henry Tilney requests her company at storied Northanger Abbey, the invitation promises an escape from mortal danger. But among the spires and columns of ancient Northanger, our heroine's hidden strength shall be pitted against perils unimagined. The scents of blood and blossoming romance mingle in the air. Will Catherine's adventure culminate in matrimony or in bloodshed? Jane Austen fans, keep a firm grip upon your crossbows. This is not the Northanger Abbey you remember. |
