Publisher Description Three horror icons come together in one indispensable tome-with an introduction by Stephen King."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 KingA 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.The titles alone-Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-have become synonymous with horror.

Inventive and subversive, these classic tales of terror can shake even the modern reader with something far more profound than fear....
