This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. Overall, this was a disappointing installment.more The characters and setting itself are interesting, but little effort is given over to explore them further.

I liked the illustrations in this book, too, they were mostly full color paintings and really nice fantasy-style art. I always end up reading ALL of the possible endings to the story, just to see what all of the options were. What ensues is a lot of skulking around the castle, climbing steep winding stone staircases or dropping into gloomy dungeons, trying to escape but encountering other vampires, a mechanical clockwork creature, wolves, werewolves, a ghost, a supposed damsel in distress, and even zombies! Of course, that's only if you, like me, keep reading the book even when your character has met an untimely end. The reader is a cleric who wakes up in the guest room of a spooky castle, with the castle's owner, a creepy vampire named Strahd, there to greet them. This one, set in the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy world, is a lot of fun.

Never fully completed, the building represents an impressive example of the romanticized medievalism that emerged in American culture at the turn of the twentieth century.Д«uildings on the property include the castle, tall ornate iron gates with stone piers, a one-lane stone bridge on the service road, several 'service' buildings along the Road and a farm complex in the southwest corner.I loved 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books as a kid, so whenever there's a new version of that type of book-containing multiple endings, where you have various decision points to 'Attack!

Gold leaf was used to cover it.Д¬onstruction on the castle was begun in the early years of the First World War, and ceased in 1924, three years after the ownerвЂ™s death in 1921.

The fireplace in the reception room was valued at over $5000 in 1910. The roofing slate came from England, the marble for the floors, fireplace and staircases from Italy and the iron gates from France. The castle had 36 rooms and legend passed down from generation to generation says that each room had steam heat and electricity long before any home in the township had them. The design of the castle is thought to have been inspired by late nineteenth century interpretations of medieval European castles constructed in Scotland. Complete with Gothic windows, turrets, towers, steep parapeted roofs, crumbling walls, and a courtyard overgrown with shrubs and trees The Ravenloft Castle has been a landmark and a source of stories both real and romantic for almost 100 years. Sitting high on a dark hillside outside of a small town in Upstate New York, The Ravenloft Castle looks like it escaped from the pages of GrimmвЂ™s fairy tales.
