The book is the comic adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic
It tells the story of an American family living in an English haunted house.
The ghost, Sir Simon de Canterville lived alone for 300 years after he murdered his wife.
He scared many people by himself making them leave the manor and take his role as a job where he has to perform.
Indeed, the family faces the ghost fast but doesn't get frightened.
So, Sir Simon has to improve himself.
The Otis family makes fun of him and never takes the ghost seriously. The twins' sons often trick him. All the traps they make lead Sir Simon to despair.
The daughter, Virginia, meets the ghost and starts talking about his ex-wife. Virginia learns that he has been condemned to starve to death and find peace.
She decides to help the ghost to find somewhere to relax. We understand that the prophecy told by the ghost just became true and that Sir Simon is free of dying.
Along the book, the ghost is seen as an appealing character whose personality becomes more understandable when he reveals his threats to Virginia. The funny part of the text makes the reading less serious and more diversified.
The story, even if it was changed for this graphic-novel edition and enriched by the drawings, stays an authentic gothic tale and offers an enjoyable spin.
