Sinossi

In the extensive 'BRAM STOKER Ultimate Collection', readers are invited into a rich tapestry of horror, dark fantasy, and intrigue, showcasing over fifty works that span Stoker's illustrious literary career. The collection is marked by Stoker's signature Gothic style, replete with atmospheric settings, intense characterizations, and a palpable sense of dread. Each tale, whether it be a chilling vampire story or a spine-tingling true crime narrative, contributes to a broader commentary on the human condition, fear, and the unknown, reflecting the anxieties of the Victorian era in which Stoker lived and wrote. Bram Stoker, best known for his iconic novel 'Dracula', was a master of horror who drew upon his background in theatre, literature, and folklore to craft suspenseful narratives. The obsessive themes of monstrosity and morality in his works may have been influenced by his own experiences and the socio-cultural landscapes of late 19th-century London, where he grappled with emergent modernity and its discontents. His rich education and lifelong fascination with the macabre undoubtedly shaped the expansive vision behind this ultimate collection. For aficionados of horror and Gothic literature, Stoker's 'Ultimate Collection' is an indispensable addition to any library, offering a comprehensive exploration of a writer who effectively defined the genre. This anthology not only celebrates Stoker's legacy but also invites contemporary readers to delve into the timeless fears and moral complexities that resonate throughout his work.

Edgar Allen Poe: Five Creepy...

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe has the genius to manipulate language so well that he could engage my imagination and get me terrified even though little was 'done' in the sense of horrible actions described. My imagination, under the power of his creepy words, conjured the atmosphere and amplified the scariness all by itself. In this recording I've chosen some of his stories that did this so well and succeed in leaving lingering hair raising memories with me to enjoy all through my life: The Telltale Heart; The Masque of the Red Death; The Black Cat; The Raven and the Casque of Amontillado. I hope you enjoy listening to them as much as I did narrating them.

Shadow out of Time The (The Work...

H. P. Lovecraft

The Shadow Out of Time is a novella by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written between November 1934 and February 1935, it was first published in the June 1936 issue of Astounding Stories. The story describes time and space travel by mind transfer. The premise is that a person in a given place and time can switch bodies with someone who is elsewhere or elsewhen. Other writers have re-used this concept in later works, such as drinking tea from Red Forest leaves in the television series 12 Monkeys and long-range communication stones in the Stargate SG-1 television series. As with other Lovecraftian works, this story features otherworldy alien beings that are not simply variations on humans or other familiar terrestrial animals.
