Horrid Mysteries

"The Horrid Mysteries, subtitled 'A Story From the German Of The Marquis Of Grosse' is a translation by Peter Will of the German Gothic novel Der Genius by Carl Grosse. It was listed as one of the seven 'horrid novels' by Jane Austen in her Northanger Abbey and also mentioned by Thomas Love Peacock in Nightmare Abbey. It was first published by the sensationalist Minerva Press in 1796." [Horrid Mysteries, Wikipedia]

John Conrad had a copy of the real Eighteenth Century edition, part of his collection of weird fiction. [REH Children (online text)]
