Reader comments
I have seen a movie commentary adapted from this story (a very old film). In order to satisfy the audience's needs, a love scene was added. It turned into a young couple returning to their hometown to inherit the house. The villagers treated them badly, and there was also a story about a witch.
The male protagonist is suspected to have been taken away by his ancestor, and the villagers want to kill the whole family. After the ancestor took away the body, the male protagonist takes revenge on the villagers who burned him to death for many years... In short, it is an Edgar Allan Poe style. If you are interested, you can search for Edgar Allan Poe Tavern.
In addition, when I was looking for movies, I also found that there is a more interesting movie adaptation called Resurrection from the Dead. In addition, there are many people explaining comics.
The plot of this book is so fascinating, especially for me who just gave birth to a child. The descriptions of family history and mysterious events in the book made me think deeply. The author's writing style is concise and powerful, making me feel as if I was actually there. Moreover, the horror atmosphere in the book was very successfully created, making me feel nervous and excited while reading. I think this is a book worth reading and I recommend it to friends who like horror stories.
Charles' parents and Dr. Willett really loved him
It doesn't feel very smooth. Is it because some parts have been deleted or simplified compared to the original novel?
