The Phantom Of the Opera by Gaston Leroux.
The phantom, Erik, is the antagonist.
No it's a love story.
I personally like Phantom of the Opera because it has very catchy music. The story is fantastic and has always drawn me in.

There is no song by Iron Maiden in the musical or movie 'The Phantom Of The Opera', however the band have recorded a track based on the novel, called "Phantom of the Opera" on their first album, 'Iron Maiden' released in 1980.
Gaston Leroux meant for it to be a horror/mystery novel, but he connected it to some real life events, such as the chandelier crashing. The Phantom of the Opera is believed to be based on a true story, meaning that there may have really been a disfigured genius who lived beneath the Opera House.
The Phantom of the Opera originated as novel by the French novelist Gaston Leroux. It was published in 1911.
