Overview:

If you've never read these four classics of horror fiction:"Dracula", "Frankenstein", "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "The Legend of SleepyHollow" now is the time. In the summer of 1816, poet Percy Shelley and his soon-to-be wife, Mary, joined poet Lord Byron and his then mistress, Claire Clairmont, at Byron's home near Geneva, Switzerland. Byron issued a challenge to his guests: write the most frightening story ever conceived, and 19-year-old Mary took up the challenge producing"Frankenstein". Bram Stoker conceived the spine-tingling classic of horror fiction"Dracula" in 1897 based on real Transylvanian Prince, Vlad theImpaler."There, on our favorite seat, the silver light of the moon struck a half-reclining figure, snowy white. It seemed to me as though something dark stood behind the seat where the white figure shone, and bent over it. What it was, whether man or beast, I could not tell."DraculaBram StokerIn "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," New England schoolmaster, Ichabod Crane, is far too busy wooing a wealthy farmer's daughter, Katrina Van Tassel, to pay much attention to the local legend of a headless horseman. He will soon come to rue that decision. In"The Hound of the Baskervilles," two Baskervilles have their throats torn out by a hound from hell, and the remaining Baskerville, Sir Henry, contacts Sherlock Holmes for help. Soon, Holmes and Watson are on the case dashing across the moonlit moors, but are they in time to save Sir Henry from the same terrible fate?To read this eBook collection on your Palm, you must first have an eBook reader installed.
