Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera is a classic. And not without reason. All of Phantom's gadgets and secret traps and mechanisms are possible to carry out, which shows how carefully Leroux is thought everything.
Book tells about Erik, deformed man who lives cellars of the Paris Opera House. He falls in love with Christine Daae, young chorus girl. But there is also Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny, Christine's crush when they are children. From this starts love triangel which ushers unheard-of happenings in the Opera.
Book start with a prologue where Leroux convinces that every thing is true. This fits Leroux's job in journalist. He benefits his large experience from his trips around the world.
Story aren't really scary but otherwise it's quit enjoyable.
