Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto [1764] is widely regarded as the pioneering work of Gothic fiction in English literature. Combining elements of horror, romance, and the supernatural, Walpole's novel established the genre's enduring tropes of dark, atmospheric settings and melodramatic plot twists.
