Phantom of the Opera

By: Gaston Leroux (I'm not sure who translated the edition I read)

Gothic or Horror Classic: Classics Challenge

This was a surprise. I was already familiar with the story but not the book story which is different than all the movie renditions. I was pleasantly surprised.

"Rumors abound that a ghost stalks the dark passages and cellars of the Paris Opera House. No one has actually seen this Phantom, but Christine DaaƩ, a beautiful and talented young singer, has heard his voice. He is her "Angel of Music," coaching her to sing as she never could before. When the handsome Viscount begins to court Christine, the mysterious Phantom-consumed by jealousy-rises up to seek revenge."
