In Paris, terror stalks the Opera Garnier.
Stories of a terrifying ghost haunting the theatre create panic amongst the musicians and audience. But the ghost is no supernatural phenomenon, but a living, deformed man, Erik, who is hopelessly in love with a promising singer: the beautiful Christine Daaé. When her childhood friend Raoul begins courting her, Erik erupts in jealousy and soon the 'ghost' becomes violent and reckless.
Combining the atmospheric character of Gothic horror with a tale of ill-fated romance, The Phantom of the Opera has been loved by readers worldwide since its first publication in 1925.
