Miss Priscilla Butterworth is orphaned, sent to a hostile aunt and repeatedly exposed to the extravagant dangers of a Gothic heroine. Her fortunes lead to a gloomy estate, a suspicious baron and a sequence of disasters that treat every familiar convention of sensational fiction as an opportunity for comedy.

The graphic novel, completed by Julia Quinn and illustrator Violet Charles, expands the fictional book repeatedly read by characters in Quinn’s other novels. It belongs to the Bevelstoke world but operates as a visual parody of the late Georgian Gothic tradition rather than as a realistic continuation of the family romances.
