A slightly unusual Verne story that starts off as a supernatural tale, but turns out to be about experiments in electricity being used to frighten Transylvanian villagers and lure a love rival into a trap. Lightweight and engaging. (

This story is not fantastic; it is simply romantic and nobody would think of classing it as legendary.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0976658399, Paperback)

This never-before translated tale by Jules Verne, the master of science fiction, is one of his few writings about the supernatural. This eerie gothic story set in a forgotten valley in the mountains of Transylvania, where demons and vampires menace the populace, pits a young stranger against the forces of evil and superstition.
