Turn on the lights and lock the doors: some of the most horrifying tales ever written are returning from the grave! Our friends at Dover Publications have recently launched Dover Horror Classics, and they have arranged to give away a “4-Pack” of some of the best books in the series to TWO lucky readers!
Enter today to win all 4 of these titles:
- Sweeney Todd: The String Of Pearls Originally issued as “penny dreadfuls” (stories published in installments and costing only a penny), Sweeney Todd: The String of Pearls recounts a young woman’s desperate search for her missing sailor sweetheart―a quest that ends in a Fleet Street barber shop, where the proprietor has an unsavory connection with a local baker and the secret ingredient to her delicious meat pies. The source for the long-running Broadway musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, this gripping tale remains a treat for lovers of Victorian mysteries.
- Zombie Stories Of H.P. Lovecraft Six chilling stories ― all published between 1921 and 1933 ― offer compelling journeys into the land of the undead. Includes “Herbert West―Reanimator,” written as a satire of Frankenstein and used as the source for a popular horror film; “In the Vault,” in which an undertaker experiences supernatural revenge; “Cool Air,” an account of a doctor’s fanatical obsession with defying death; and three more by this master of horror fiction.
- Best Ghost And Horror Stories: Bram Stoker While best known for his classic vampire novel, Dracula, Bram Stoker also wrote superlative short stories. In fact, he was a genius at creating horror within the confines of a short tale. Fourteen spine-tingling stories, including “The Squaw” and “The Burial of the Rats”—which are equal to Poe at his best!
- Thirty Hours with a Corpse and Other Tales of the Grand Guigno: Maurice Level Characterized by gratuitous acts of brutality and surprise endings, these tales of obsession and violence are the creations of a twentieth-century French writer whose works were staged by the legendary Théâtre du Grand-Guignol of Paris. The precursors of modern thrillers and slasher films, these stories have been specially selected for this edition and introduced by horror specialist S. T. Joshi. Thirty-nine conte cruel (“cruel tales”) include “In the Light of the Red Lamp,” in which a husband’s photographs of his dead wife reveal a deeper tragedy; “Fascination,” the tale of a morbid passion that develops when the narrator, determined to stay at home, shoots his mistress for the sake of peace and quiet; and many more. 39 tales in all!
