Synopsis

These three timeless masterpieces of gothic horror and intrigue have been delighting readers for over a century. Carmilla (1872), by J. Sheridan Le Fanu, is a romantic vampire tale with erotic overtones, one that considerably predates Dracula. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a perennial classic story of one mad doctor's experiment gone completely awry. Finally, The Turn of the Screw (1898), by Henry James, is a Victorian ghost story that will send a chill up the spine of many a reader, who may find themselves losing sleep on dark, lonely, haunted nights. The classics of supernatural terror and fear are collected here, to bring pleasure to many a frightening night!
