Frankenstein / Dracula / Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde

A scientist oversteps the bounds of conscience and brings to life a tortured creation. A young adventurer succumbs to the night world of a diabolic count. A man of medicine explores his darker side only to fall prey to it. They are legendary tales that have held readers spellbound for more than a century. The titles alone — Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — have become part of a universal language that serves to put a monster's face on the good-and-evil duality of our very human nature. And the authors — Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Robert Louis Stevenson — equally mythic, are still possessed of as inventive and subversive power that can shake a reader to this day with something far more profound than fear. They gave root to the modern horror novel, and like the creatures they invented, they've achieved immortality.
