  Ever since man first began to tell stories - often crouched around a campfire late at night - storytellers have tried to send a chill up the spine of their listeners; to delight, thrill and even terrify their audience with stories of ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night. To this day, some of the most popular stories ever written were created to give readers a sense of dread, excitement and wonder at the unknown.   
  Collected here are four of the world's best-known and beloved tales of horror, suspense and terror: H.G. Wells' "The Island of Doctor Moreau," Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," H.P. Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu," and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart."   
  We begin on a lonely island where a shipwrecked young seaman discovers that the doctor in charge of this strange land has been performing unspeakable experiments on the jungle animals...transforming them into something almost human. Almost. H.G. Wells' tale of a mad doctor run amok begins this journey of horror and intrigue.   
  Next we move to London, where we find the kindly Dr. Jekyll - a brilliant man of science - who has been experimenting with a mood-altering drug that causes him to transform into a murderous brute. Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of tapping into our dark, inner selves has become a favorite of the genre.   
  Then, a truly bizarre story of an underwater leviathan; a massive, mythical beast whose ascension from the depths could mean the end of life as we know it. The one-and-only H.P. Lovecraft brings us the twisted tale of Cthulhu, terror of the ancient world.   
  And finally, we find ourselves in the world of Edgar Allan Poe, the Master of Horror, as he spins the tale of a late night murder, an ingenious cover-up of the crime...and an unexpected and horrifying revelation!   
  Collected together for the first time, here are four stories of murder, mayhem and malevolence, all presented in their original format.

  What would you do if you inherited enough money to do anything you desired?  You could buy cars, houses, commercial buildings, businesses, land, golf courses, jets, jewelry (the good stuff), have stadiums named for you, and live a good life.  Travel to all parts of the world without care, no worries, and just be.  You do what you like, work out, play golf or tennis without hurry or rush to get to work or meetings.  Hire the best trainers, chefs, and medical staff to make your body the envy of anyone seeing you on the beach or in the club.  
  Would it be a good life if you used it all on yourself and your immediate family?  The power of money and what it can buy might overwhelm you.  How could you ensure your heirs would use the money to help others? 
  If you are reading this book, you know how to help others.  I hope you continue to uplift your friends, family, co-workers, and unknown helpless individuals, but there are temptations in life. 
  Which side do you choose?  The side wanting to look good, or the side doing good? 
  You can buy friendship, but do you want relationships based on money? 
  Do you have friends?  If you had friends before your inheritance, do they badger you into giving them small pieces of the big pie once they found out (but you can lose the Trust if you tell)?  Would they still be your friends?  What if you gifted everyone you know, ten million dollars?  Would everyone be satisfied and help others?  Would it please you? 
  As a trillionaire, what are you doing?  Are you for good, evil, or what you think is safe between the two? 
  The Davis Trust is your irrevocable trust with money and resources to change the world.  Resources far surpassing a flaunting influence, power, sex, and money lifestyle. 
  Significance is a glimpse at what your father or grandfather intended the Davis Trust to create.  The journey never stops fighting for good, investing in people, and fighting evil.
