Description

The timeless gothic classics Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Other Stories are now available together in this bone-chilling paperback boxed set. In Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein is an aspiring scientist whose obsession with the idea of creating life leads him to animate a humanoid figure he crafted from corpses. Confronted with the horror of what he’s created, Frankenstein abandons his monster—who in turn vows revenge. In Dracula, young English lawyer Jonathan Harker’s trip to Romania to meet with Count Dracula sets off a chain of events that threaten the lives of his friends, including his fiancée, Mina. With the help of vampire expert Professor Van Helsing, can Jonathan, Mina, and their friends defeat their sinister foe? In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Other Stories, the relationship between a well-respected doctor and a violent criminal is more shocking than anyone could guess in this unholy tale of a repressed man giving himself over wholly to the worst of his vices and shame. Also, two medical students turn to grave robbing in “The Body Snatcher” and a man wishes on a cursed bottle in “The Bottle Imp.” This deliciously eerie paperback boxed set includes: Frankenstein Dracula Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Other Stories

Author Biography:

Mary Shelley (1797–1851) was born to well-known parents: author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and philosopher William Godwin. When Mary was sixteen, she met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, a devotee of her father’s teachings. In 1816, the two of them travelled to Geneva to stay with Lord Byron. One evening, while they shared ghost stories, Lord Byron proposed that they each write a ghost story of their own. Frankenstein was Mary’s contribution. Other works of hers include Mathilda, The Last Man, and The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck.  Bram Stoker (1847–1912) was an Irish author best known for his Gothic horror novel Dracula. He also worked as a theater critic and business manager of Lyceum Theatre in the West End. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) spent his childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland, but traveled widely in the United States and throughout the South Seas. He was author of many novels, including The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Kidnapped, The Black Arrow, and Treasure Island.
