"Zastrozzi" is a a dramatic tale of romance and revenge written by Percy Bysshe Shelley where he adroitly exploits the classic elements of popular Gothic horror.

Shelley's vivid love story dramatises the misplaced passion between Matilda, Contessa di Laurentinini, Verezzi, the object of her crazed desire, and Matilda's murderous accomplice, the mysterious Zastrozzi.
