Clever use of language, gentle satire of the sometimes ridiculously unintentional hilariousness of Gothic novels, fun characters based on real people, strange fiddling with ghosts and mermaids, and overall funny frolicking in a gloomy castle. Leaves a smile on your face.

Bring on the Madeira (preferably in a skull of a dead ancestor)!
