| Summary | "The Ghost Breaker: A Novel Based Upon the Play" by Charles Goddard and Paul Dickey is a fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Warren Jarvis, a young man recently returned to his Kentucky home, grappling with the aftermath of his family's tragic past—the murder of his parents—which is deeply rooted in an ongoing feud. As he vows to avenge their deaths and navigate the mysteries surrounding his family's legacy, he is drawn into a world filled with intrigue and supernatural elements. The opening of the novel sets a dramatic tone, showcasing Warren's emotional turmoil as he arrives home to a grieving household after receiving a telegram from his ailing father. He discovers that both his mother and father have died—his mother from grief after his father's shooting. This tragic event ignites his thirst for vengeance against Jim Marcum, the man responsible for his parents' deaths. As Warren navigates his family's dark history, he meets Maria Theresa, a princess with secrets of her own. They embark on a journey intertwined with themes of revenge, loyalty, and the supernatural, as they confront their pasts and the ghostly legends surrounding her family's castle. This blend of romance, adventure, and the supernatural offers readers a unique narrative that promises a captivating exploration of familial duty and the ghosts that haunt both the living and the dead.
