Publisher's Synopsis
A new generation of young readers is sure to delight in this enduring tale of love and torment by Gaston Leroux originally published in 1909--featuring a freshly reimagined cover!
Filled with the spectacle of the Paris Opera House in the 19th century, this classic work of suspense remains a riveting journey into the dark regions of the human heart. The tale begins as an investigation into the strange stories of an "Opera ghost," said to scare performers as they sit alone in their dressing rooms or walk along the building's labyrinthine corridors. But it isn't until the triumphant performance of beautiful soprano Christine Daaé that the Phantom begins his attacks--striking terror in the hearts of everyone in the theater.
