the shadow turned round and I saw a terrible deathshead, which darted a look at me from a pair of scorching eyes. I felt as if I were face to face with SatanErik, the Phantom of the Paris Opera House, is one of the great icons of horror literature. This tormented and disfigured creature has made his home in the labyrinthine cellars of this opulent building where he can indulge in his great passion for music, which is a substitute for the love and emotion denied him because of his ghastly appearance. It is in the Opera House that he encounters Christine Daa whom he trains in secret to become a great singer. Eriks passionate obsession with a beautiful woman beyond his reach is doomed and leads to the dramatic tragic finale. Gaston Lerouxs novel is a marvellous blend of detective story, romance and spinetingling terror which has fascinated readers ever since the work was first published.
