  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.

  Ellie Price thought she had life neatly folded—career on track, wedding plans in motion, and a five-year plan as crisp as her color-coded calendar. But when a single chaotic morning leaves her dashing into work with mismatched socks, everything else seems to unravel just as wildly. 
  Suddenly, her fiancé has cold feet, her boss is making “suggestions” about her future, and her best friend is staging a full-blown intervention involving wine, karaoke, and a questionable amount of glitter. 
  As Ellie stumbles from one disaster to another, she starts to realize that maybe perfection was never the goal at all—and that mismatched socks might just be the first step toward a life that actually fits. 
  The Day My Life Wore Mismatched Socks is a laugh-out-loud, feel-good novel about friendship, fresh starts, and embracing the chaos when life refuses to match up.
