The Triumph of the Value of Human Life Over the Value of Money: The Luxurious Impregnability of Concentric Castles vs. The Affordability of Old Castles One of the most frightening things is to be woken up by the dreadful noises of frantic screams of desperate people and the horrific smells of burning wood and flesh; to frantically run through the suffocating smoke and, just about when you reach the outside and think you are safe, to watch your castle, your home, your protective fortress disappear in front of your eyes, engulfed in flames. This was a common situation that those living in a wooden medieval castle had to face. This could be a gorey scene from a horror movie; however, for medieval kings and lords, this was their reality that…

I’m the King of Castle is a gothic novel about ‘a victim and a tormentor’. Two boys, Edmund Hooper and Charles Kingshaw, were forced to live in an isolated castle together by their single parents.

Susan Hill make Edmund Hooper difficult to admire because of he is a sociopath and he reveals self-centredness and cruelty from his monstrous personality.…
I remembered his paintings, those strokes of pastel that sparkled even in the dark. I remembered his guitar, which he puts them on his rather rigid thighs as he strums the strings with gentle touches as if it was his first love. I remembered his shoes, he had a hill of them, I suppose his taste in those models are rather constant.

I remembered his moon crescent-like eyes, which smiles on its own, I must admit it was very charismatic.…
