Nightmare Abbey

Description

Nightmare Abbey is a Gothic satire in which the author pokes fun at the romantic movement in contemporary English literature, in particular its obsession with morbid subjects.

It follows the fortunes of Christopher Glowry, Esquire, a morose widower who lives with his only son Scythrop in his family mansion Nightmare Abbey, which is situated on a strip of dry land between the sea and the fens in Lincolnshire.
