"An absolute must for Dracula, Horror, and Literary History aficionados the world over." In association with the Bram Stoker estate - The Official annotated, edited version of Dracula. In the author's full, original form, Dracula: Annotated is the very first edition of Bram Stoker's timeless classic horror novel to be written by a member of Bram Stoker's family, Dacre Stoker, his great grand nephew, with the assistance of award-winning vampire expert, Robert Eighteen-Bisang. This book includes the entire version of Dracula-not only Constable's text of 1897 and Dracula's Guest, but outlines of Bram's original first, second, and third chapters. Within these pages are all of the pre-publication deletions from the original typescript, as well as Bram's hand-written changes and the entire abridged edition of 1901-read for the first time the changes Bram made to create his dramatic adaptation of Dracula in 1897 and note the differences in the Doubleday & McClure and William Rider texts. This exceptional, incredibly unique slice of literary history represents a rare insight into the remarkable creative process of Bram Stoker, the grand master of horror himself.
Rituals, death, the supernatural, the contrast of light and dark, man overreaching to disaster, things that lurk, unsettling nightmares and brooding landscapes, dark castles and ancient lore. Dark dreams made real. These are the creative maelstrom of gothic writing, and this collection brings together a representative sample of the best, from the finest early gothic writers.In this volume: - The Fall of the House of Usher, by Edgar Allan Poe. A dark story of madness, isolation and the supernatural. The eponymous house is falling apart, and with it, its occupant, Roderick Usher. This is one of Poe's most famous stories, hailed as a masterpiece of gothic horror.- The Turn of the Screw, by Henry James. This is his most celebrated gothic ghost story. James wasn't exclusively a gothic writer but The Turn of the Screw is unashamedly in the gothic tradition. Like the best gothic literature it's unsettling and unexplained, leaving a satisfying chill and a racing heart.- The Body Snatcher, by Robert Louis Stevenson. He is possibly best known for The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, weighing in with heavy themes of good and evil, the duality of man and the limits and constraints on ambition, but two years earlier (1884) he published the story reprinted in this collection, which involves exhuming corpses, dissection and the obligatory hints of the supernatural.- Dracula's Guest, by Bram Stoker. An Englishman on his way to Transylvania becomes stranded in the snow, forced to shelter in a vampire's tomb...- The Monkey's Paw, by WW Jacobs. A supernatural story where whoever holds a mummified Indian monkey's paw gets three wishes - but the paw has been cursed by an Indian fakir so that dire consequences result from using the paw. This is a story about temptation and the supernatural - an undoubted classic.- The Shunned House, by H.P Lovecraft. This is the most modern tale here, first appearing in Weird Tales in 1937, but its instincts are firmly rooted in the Victorian gothic tradition. Lovecraft's reputation for unsettling stories was cemented with his Cthulhu mythos (first seen in 1928's The Call of Cthulhu - also in Weird Tales), still haunting the dreams and adorning the t-shirts of modern readers. The Shunned House is set in an old and abandoned Rhode Island mansion with strange weeds in the yard and phosphorescent fungus growing in the cellar, with foul smells and vapors and the mysterious outline of a human body on the floor. Determined to solve the mysteries of this strange and chilling house, Elihu Whipple decides to spend a night there. Cue the supernatural...- Dr Heidegger's Experiment, by Nathanial Hawthorne. This cautionary tale is about a man who says he has water from the fountain of youth and invites his elderly friends to experiment by drinking it. But all, inevitably is not as it seems...- The Eyes, by Edith Wharton. They appear, disembodied, to Andrew Culwin at times of pressure or when he feels guilty, an insetting, supernatural, visible sign of judgement. It's a story of weakness and moral corruption, of consciousness and character. Classic gothic.
The Gothic Trilogy: Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (unabridged versions) in one tome only Three Classic Gothic Novels: 1) Dracula, 2) Frankenstein, 3) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde --all three classics complete and unabridged versions by Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Robert Louis Stevenson. 1) Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It introduced the character of Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. The novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel, and invasion literature. The novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film, and television interpretations. 2) Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797-1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a hideous, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story because, in contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films and plays. 3) Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886.
Ranging from the macabre to the supernatural, the collection of stories found in Classic Tales of Horror contains some of the most influential horror and dark fiction books of all-time. Included in this horror anthology are: The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft Dracula by Bram Stoker Frankenstein by Mary Shelley The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe The Turn of the Screw by Henry James A bit more about each book: The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft recounts Francis Wayland Thurston's investigations into a mysterious otherworldly cult that worships the slumbering god Cthulhu. The published story was regarded by Robert E. Howard (the creator of Conan) as "a masterpiece, which I am sure will live as one of the highest achievements of literature. Mr. Lovecraft holds a unique position in the literary world; he has grasped, to all intents, the worlds outside our paltry ken." Dracula by Bram Stoker tells the story of the vampire Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread his undead curse, as well as the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has spawned many undead spinoffs in literature and film and is synonomous with modern horror. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Considered by some to be the first example of science fiction, Frankenstein has generated an entire genre of literature, films, and plays. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde tells the story of the adventures of a hedonistic youth after having his likeness captured in a painting...and the paintings reflection of those adventures. Considered too amoral for publication in its original form, Oscar Wilde famously fought for artists' rights to publish and art for art's sake in his works defense. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson relates the story of a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the common language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is the tale of an unnamed narrator who endeavors to convince the reader of his sanity while simultaneously describing a murder he committed. The Tell-Tale Heart is widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and is one of Poe's most famous short stories. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James tells the story of a governess caring for two children at a remote estate who becomes convinced that the grounds are haunted. The novella has been adapted numerous times in film, stage, and television and has enjoyed much debate by academics on the true nature of the evil depicted in the story.
Vampire Classics features a unique adaptation of the 1922 silent film, Nosferatu. Plus a horror-western by "Conan" creator Robert E. Howard and Ray Bradbury's "The Man Upstairs." With "The Strange Orchid" by H.G. Wells, "Olalla" by Robert Louis Stevenson, and a short story by famed horror writer and co-editor Mort Castle.
