Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Mary Shelley
A spine-tingling collection of terrifying classics with an introduction by horror master Stephen King. The mesmerizing story of a demented scientist's monster creation; the horror masterpiece that has led to countless vampire novels and films; and the ultimate tale of the never-ending battle between good and evil--these frightening works continue to entrall even the boldest readers. Reissue. \nThree horror icons come together in one indispensable tome--with an introduction by Stephen King. \n Within the pages of this volume you will come upon three of the darkest creations of English nineteenth-century literature; three of the darkest in all of English and American literature, many would say...and not without justification...These three creatures, presented together for the first time, all have a great deal in common beyond their power to go on frightening generation after generation of readers...but that fact alone should be considered before all others.--From the Introduction by Stephen King \n \nA diabolical, bloodthirsty Count draws an unsuspecting young man into a world of terrors. A scientist oversteps the bounds of conscience and brings to life a tortured creation. A man of medicine explores his darker side only to fall prey to it. These three legendary tales have held readers spellbound for more than a century. \n \nThe titles alone--Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde--have become synonymous with horror. They are part of a universal language that serves to put a monster's face on the good-and-evil duality of our very human nature. Inventive and subversive, these classic tales of terror can shake even the modern reader with something far more profound than fear....\n
