"Northanger Abbey"

Just been watching Masterpiece Theatre's adaptation of "Northanger Abbey": I'm looking forward to reading the book, since it's one that's escaped me, but it think it's one of Jane Austen's most mischievous stories. The way she playfully spoofed the gothic horror/romances of her time gives me a feeling she'd have as much fun doing the same to Anne Rice and Laurell K. Hamiliton... And I'll admit, I might have to do a bit more research, but I think I could do just that.
