A classic masterpiece of gothic horror fiction
Dracula, Bram Stoker's chilling tale of disturbing events, dark desires and the harrowing world of vampires, has gripped audiences since it was first published in 1897. Reflecting the anxieties of late 19th-century Victorian society, this book explores the themes of superstition, sexuality and the fear of the unknown.
This epistolary novel conveys its narrative through letters, diary entries and newspaper articles as Jonathon Harker travels to Gothic Transylvania to assist the infamous Count Dracula with the purchase of an English house. The newly-qualified solicitor soon discovers the sinister truth about the Count's vampiric intentions and diabolical ambitions. The only thing standing in Count Dracula's way is a small group of people led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing, who know what he secretly is and have vowed to stop him.
Dracula remains a cornerstone of vampire lore, and has an ongoing influence on popular culture even today. This quintessential Gothic novel is perfect for horror fans, classic novel enthusiasts and fans of supernatural fiction.
A twisted, upside-down creation myth that gave birth to the modern science fiction novel
Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale, lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. Written after a nightmare Mary Shelley was only eighteen, this book gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.
Set against the backdrop of Europe in the late 18th century, Frankenstein explores themes of scientific ethics, the nature of monstrosity, and the consequences of playing god. The book follows the ambitious scientist Victor Frankenstein who plunders graveyards to create a human-like creature from reanimated body parts, driven by his desire to overcome death and unlock the secrets of life. Frankenstein is often considered a reflection of the cultural and scientific anxieties of the time, with the Industrial Revolution and advancements in science raising questions about the ethical boundaries of scientific exploration.
Despite first being published in 1818, this novel remains relevant today, prompting discussions on the consequences of unchecked ambition and societal rejection of the other. This seminal work is perfect for fans of the Gothic and science fiction genres.
