The Castle of Otranto book cover using a gradiant tan background, with a gothic rose border, where the title of the book is above a gothic looking castle drawn in gothic minimalism. There are two bat-like monsters flying above, flanked by two daggers on the side of the castle. Inside the front door is a giant skull, and there are two withered trees on the side of the castle.
