Northanger Abbey

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

This is a Jane Austen novel combined a bit with a gothic/horror novel. The characters are interested in getting in relationships and all concerned about manners. However, they need to go to a house where every creek seems to be the same of some scary event, only to be a person walking up. It is a lighter, better Jane Austen, and almost feels like she is starting to do a "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" treatment. (But she doesn't quite get that far.)
