Horatio (Horace) Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford (1717-1797), was an English art historian, man of letters, antiquarian and Whig politician. He was the youngest son of the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. Walpole was an early enthusiast of the Gothic revival, an archtectural movement looking back to the Middle Ages for inspiration. This enthusiasm also manifested itself in his "Gothic" novel, The Castle of Otranto. The Castle of Otranto was a huge success and created the literary genre of Gothic literature. By way of books like The Mysteries of Udolpho, The Monk, Frankenstein, and Dracula, it ultimately gave rise to modern horror fiction.

Historic Doubts on the Life and Reign of King Richard the Third By Horace Walpole

Funny, absurd, satirical, and disturbing--these stories are Horace Walpole's most original, yet least known writings These short tales can claim to be the first surrealist writings in English--and remain some of the strangest fiction in all literature. They were originally published in 1785 in an edition of six copies, all of which Walpole kept for himself. An extra story is included, which was preserved only in manuscript. Truly bizarre, Walpole's stories defy the fictional conventions of his day, beginning with an often-imitated mock preface explaining that the stories were undoubtedly written a little before the creation of the world, and have ever since been preserved, by oral tradition, in the mountains of Crampcraggiri, an uninhabited island, not yet discovered.
