Leixlip Castle is an 1825 short story by the Irish writer Charles Maturin. His final work, it was published posthumously.[1] Maturin's earlier novels had been heavily Gothic in tone. With his previous work The Albigenses (1824) he moved towards historical stories in the style of Walter Scott's popular Waverley novels.[2] In Leixlip Castle he combined both elements in a supernatural story concerning Ireland in the early 18th century. It should not be confused with a novel of the same title by M.L. O'Byrne published in 1883.[3]
