Strange things are going on at the Paris Opera House: a mysterious phantom - a skeleton in dinner dress -is wreaking havoc amongst the singers and the backstage staff. When new managers take over, and dismiss the rumours of the Opera Ghost, the terror really begins. Who is the mysterious figure stalking the stage at night? How can he be everywhere at once, and enter and leave locked rooms at will? Andwhat is his connection to the beautiful and talented young soloist, Christine? Gaston Leroux's brilliant and disturbing book is best known perhaps through its many stage and screen adaptations, but the original text outdoes them all in its Gothic tension and its haunting horror.

Gaston Leroux

Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux (6 May, 1868, Paris, France – 15 April, 1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction.

In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel "The Phantom of the Opera" ("Le Fantôme de l'Opéra", 1910), which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name, such as the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney; and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. It was also the basis of the 1990 novel "Phantom" by Susan Kay.

Leroux went to school in Normandy and studied law in Paris, graduating in 1889. He inherited millions of francs and lived wildly until he nearly reached bankruptcy. Then in 1890, he began working as a court reporter and theater critic for L'Écho de Paris. His most important journalism came when he began working as an international correspondent for the Paris newspaper "Le Matin". In 1905 he was present at and covered the Russian Revolution. Another case he was present at involved the investigation and deep coverage of an opera house in Paris, later to become a ballet house. The basement consisted of a cell that held prisoners in the Paris Commune, which were the rulers of Paris through much of the Franco-Prussian war.

He suddenly left journalism in 1907, and began writing fiction. In 1909, he and Arthur Bernède formed their own film company, Société des Cinéromans to simultaneously publish novels and turn them into films. He first wrote a mystery novel entitled "Le mystère de la chambre jaune" (1908; The Mystery of the Yellow Room), starring the amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille. Leroux's contribution to French detective fiction is considered a parallel to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's in the United Kingdom and Edgar Allan Poe's in America. Leroux died in Nice on April 15, 1927, of a urinary tract infection. ["Gaston Leroux." The Literature Network. 12 May 2008. http://www.online-literature.com/leroux/]
