  Deep within us is the dread of dying of moving on from life to another state of being.  We assume it comes about through accident, perhaps even murder or disease that can be sudden or can take years to pull us into oblivion.  But perhaps trumping all of these is the fear of being buried alive.  The sheer terror of being totally trapped, unable to summon help and escape, fills one and all with a deeply unique terror. 
   
  In this volume such icons as Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce and Honoré de Balzac take us on a journey that will do our helpless fear of this no good at all.

  Three Gothic Novels -...

  Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley,...

  Three Gothic Novels is a compelling collection that brings together three quintessential works of Gothic literature: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Each novel delves into the macabre and the supernatural, exploring themes of fear, horror, and the unknown, while also probing deeper questions about humanity, morality, and the boundaries of science and nature.
  In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley tells the haunting tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who defies natural laws to create life, only to be horrified by the monstrous being he brings into existence. This groundbreaking novel is not just a horror story but also a profound exploration of ambition, responsibility, and the ethical limits of scientific exploration. Shelley's intricate narrative raises enduring questions about creation, isolation, and the human condition.
  Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla introduces readers to one of literature's first female vampires. Set in a remote Austrian estate, the novella follows the mysterious and alluring Carmilla as she ingratiates herself into the lives of the residents, particularly the young and innocent Laura. Through its atmospheric storytelling and psychological complexity, Carmilla explores themes of predation, sexuality, and the supernatural, laying the groundwork for many modern vampire tales.
  Bram Stoker's Dracula is perhaps the most iconic vampire story ever written. The novel chronicles the efforts of Count Dracula to move from Transylvania to England, where he seeks to spread the undead curse. Through the diaries and letters of characters like Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray, and Dr. Van Helsing, Stoker weaves a gripping narrative of suspense, horror, and the battle between good and evil. Dracula is a richly layered novel that delves into Victorian anxieties about sexuality, immigration, and the limits of modernity.
  Together, these three novels represent the pinnacle of Gothic fiction, each contributing to the genre's development and enduring popularity. Three Gothic Novels is an essential collection for anyone interested in the roots of horror and the exploration of the dark and mysterious aspects of the human psyche.

  Mary Shelley: Frankenstein
