The Gothic Trilogy: Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (unabridged versions) in one tome only ! Three Classic Gothic Novels: 1) Dracula, 2) Frankenstein, 3) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde --all three classics complete and unabridged versions by Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Robert Louis Stevenson. 1) Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It introduced the character of Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. The novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel, and invasion literature. The novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film, and television interpretations. 2) Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797-1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a hideous, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story because, in contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films and plays. 3) Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886.

Frankenstein, Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Tout va changer dans la vie du jeune Jim Hawkins le jour où le "capitaine", un vieux marin balafré et taciturne, s'installe dans l'auberge de ses parents, à L'Amiral Benbow. Jim comprend vite que ce boucanier, malgré ses chansons et son goût immodéré pour le rhum, ne veut pas dire son nom, qu'il n'est pas un client ordinaire et qu'une terrible menace pèse sur lui. En effet, lorsqu'un aveugle effrayant frappe à la porte de l'auberge isolée, apportant au marin la tache noire symbole des pirates et synonyme de mort, la chasse au trésor a déjà commencé... Jim Hawkins, jeune garçon courageux, s'embarque sur un navire à la recherche d'un trésor enfoui sur une île déserte. Il se trouve alors aux prises avec des pirates patibulaires, dont un certain Long John Silver doté d'une jambe de bois. Cette aventure incroyable nous plonge dans un monde de pirates sanguinaires, plus vrais que nature, qui s'entre-déchirent sur une île brûlée par le soleil. L'affrontement sera sans merci ...
