Crookhill Abbey

- A gothic romance in the style of Jane Austen and Ann Radcliffe

Bag om Crookhill Abbey

Lord Lacy's daughter, Emily, is persuaded by her parents to marry the ageing Lord Dalrymple. After all, he has a title, Earl of Morpeth, and a mansion, Crookhill Abbey, that is even more extensive than Lord Lacy's mansion in Buxton. However, when Emily gets to Northumberland, she finds that Crookhill Abbey is little better than a crumbling mausoleum. Crookhill Abbey is not quite a Jane Austen sequel - but there are echoes of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice - also Eliza Parsons', The Castle of Wolfenbach, and Ann Radcliffe's, The Mysteries of Udolpho. However, there are also many new characters, including the heroine, Emily, the anti-hero, Lord Dalrymple, Thomas, a struggling artist, and his aristocratic lover, Catherine, all tangled up in an original plot that leads them to - the horrors of Crookhill Abbey.
