New York: Signet Classics, 1978-11-30. Reprint. Mass Market Paperback. Fine. 4x1x7. New. Reprint. An exceptional copy. xiv, 223, 422, 75 pp. Includes: Introduction by Stephen King; Frankenstein; Dracula; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. 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 (truncated) 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 King. A 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. They are part of a universal language that serves to put a monster's face on the good-and-evil duality of our very human nature. Inventive and subversive, these classic tales of terror can shake even the modern reader with something far more profound than fear. (Inventory #: 2341463)
