About this product

Product Information

Lock the doors and turn on the lights! These seven blood-chilling tales are sure to haunt your dreams. Includes John Polidori's The Vampyre, Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Monos and Daimons, Clemence Housman's The Werewolf, plus The Curse, and The Victim. In this 19th-century medley of the macabre, seven blood-chilling tales feature a cast of demons, doppelgangers, werewolves, and other beastly creatures, sure to haunt your dreams. The lead story, The Vampyre, has influenced generations of fantasy fiction writers. One of the first tales ever written in the romantic vampire genre, it was the result of a friendly writing competition that also yielded Mary Shelley's classic, Frankenstein. The story begins as a gentleman traveling in Greece falls in love with a local beauty. When she warns him about vampires, he scoffs at her fears - until he's caught in the forest one night and finds someone at his throat. This fiendishly good collection continues with Clemence Housman's The Werewolf, in which a white-robed maiden with a thirst for blood encounters twin brothers - and executes a diabolical plan. In Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Monos and Daimonos, a reclusive young man goes to great lengths to rid himself of the odd character pursuing him...with horrifying results. Plus, there are four more equally thrilling tales, including the anonymous stories, The Curse and The Victim. Must-have reading for college students and fans of the supernatural.

no Mr Fish-Lips?
there is a Vampyre, a Werewolf, a Frankenstein... but no Swamp Monsters or Gill-Men... nor is there an Ancient Egyptian Mummy... traditional Caribbean Zombies are not represented either... there might be the Invisible Man, but I couldn't see him... still, it was an informative reading experience, though a bit heavy on the description? (I would have given this book five stars but the absence of a Spooky Fish-Creature means it only gets four... & that is all I have to say about THAT!!!) -Mr_Chickenpants 2024
