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 fianc?e, 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 Daa?, in The Phantom of the Opera.

About the Author
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) spent his childhood in Edinburgh, Scotland, but traveled widely in the United States and throughout the South Seas. He was author of many novels, including The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Kidnapped, The Black Arrow, and Treasure Island.

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish author best known for his Gothic horror novel Dracula. He also worked as a theater critic and business manager of Lyceum Theatre in the West End.

Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was born to well-known parents: author and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft and philosopher William Godwin. When Mary was sixteen, she met the young poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, a devotee of her father's teachings. In 1816, the two of them travelled to Geneva to stay with Lord Byron. One evening, while they shared ghost stories, Lord Byron proposed that they each write a ghost story of their own. Frankenstein was Mary's contribution. Other works of hers include Mathilda, The Last Man, and The Fortunes of Perkin Warbeck.

Washington Irving (1783-1859) was an author best known for his short stories "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle" and traveled widely before settling down in the Hudson Valley in New York.

Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a French novelist whose best-known work, Le Fant?me de l'op?ra or The Phantom of the Opera, has inspired many film and stage adaptations.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer, poet, and critic. Best known for his macabre prose work, including the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart," his writing has influenced literature in the United States and around the world.
