Though the book and film bear little resemblance to each other.

Wow - sorry but I strongly disagree. - RGA 17:24:10 10/27/04 (1)
The film is pretty one note - a good note - the book has much more depth to it. One could make an arguement that Young Frankenstein even with it's zany side which is pretty much the whole side is the deepest most faithful to the novella.

  The Gothic novel always seemed to me to promise more than it ever
  delivered, like, say, "Melmoth the Wanderer" or "The Monk". The film
  is rather demented, not unlike speed metal. The book has a dreamy
  placid quality, low splatter factor. Regards,
  J.R.
