The Pale Lady (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

This vintage book contains Alexandre Dumas's enchanting gothic novella, "The Pale Lady". It is a gripping vampire tale about a Polish woman who is adored by two very different brothers. Full of adventure, tragedy, and romance - set in a land of creepy castles and misty monasteries, this volume is highly recommended for fans of gothic literature, and is not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed other works by this author. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have since been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over two hundred motion pictures. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
