Klappentext

The timeless, genre-defying classics Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Other Stories, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Other Stories, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Raven & Other Writings are now available together in this bone-chilling hardcover boxed set.

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.”

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 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 The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Other Stories, schoolteacher Ichabod Crane flees from the Headless Horseman, Ichabod Crane sleeps for twenty years to wake to a changed world, and more.

The titular Phantom of the Opera hides from the world while terrorizing the Paris Opera House and its star, beautiful soprano Christine Daaé, in The Phantom of the Opera.

In The Raven & Other Writings, murder and grief dominate the eerie stories and poems of Edgar Allan Poe.
