Her fourth and most popular novel, The Mysteries of Udolpho tells of Emily St. Aubert, who suffers misadventures that include the death of her mother and father, supernatural terrors in a gloomy castle, and machinations of Italian brigand Signor Montoni.
A Sicilian Romance was her second published work, and was first published anonymously.
The Romance of the Forest, interspersed with some pieces of poetry combines an air of mystery and suspense with an examination of the tension between hedonism and morality. The Romance of the Forest, interspersed with some pieces of poetry was her first major success, going through four editions in its first three years, and establishing her reputation as a leading figure in the Gothic romance genre.
