- Summary:
- Spontaneous human combustion, ventriloquism, sleepwalking, secret societies, plague, doppelgängers, disguises, corpses, night burials, locked doors, and mysterious manuscripts-these are only a few of the Gothic devices that appear in the writings of late eighteenth-century American author, Charles Brockden Brown.

In advance of Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, and Ambrose Bier
