Dracula & Frankenstein ~ Hardback ~ Bram Stoker

These two novels, both in handy pocket size and packaged in a slipcase, are two of the greatest horror stories in the Gothic style. Dracula tells the story of Jonathan Harker's travels to Transylvania to conduct a property sale with Count Dracula, only for the mysterious Count to appear in England and set off a frightening chain of events. Frankenstein is Mary Shelley's tale of the grotesque creature created as a result of an horrific science experiment by Victor Frankenstein, who is rejected by society and runs amok with devastating consequences.Author BiographyBram Stoker was an Irish author and was at one point the personal assistant of the actor Henry Irving. He wrote for the Daily Telegraph in London and produced other works of fiction and non-fiction. Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was a novelist, short story writer, dramatist and biographer. The wife of the romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, she was ostracised by society along with Shelley because Shelley was already married. Famously, the Shelleys spent the summer of 1816 residing with Lord Byron and others near Geneva and it was during this time that she had the idea for Frankenstein.
