Book excerpt: The timeless gothic classics Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Other Stories are now available together in this bone-chilling hardcover boxed set. 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 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 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.” This deliciously eerie hardcover boxed set includes: Frankenstein Dracula Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & Other Stories
