The Penny Dreadfuls: Dracula, Frankenstein, the Picture of Dorian Gray, and Other Tales of Horror NEW––BroDart Dust Jacket Cover Author: Various First Skyhouse Publishing Edition Skyhorse Publishing 2015 Skyhorse Publishing CAB Comment––This is a fantastic collection of three of the most influential macabre novels of all time. I will admit that I shamefully have not read “Dracula”, although I quite enjoyed the short story by Stoker, “Dracula’s Guest”, which is included in this book. As for “Frankenstein” I was very impressed with Mary Shelley’s poetic prose and darkly profound philosophical themes, and her epistolary story structure, combined with direct character narration, was very intriguing. I have only recently read “The Picture Of Dorian Gray”, but I wish I hadn’t waited so long. I was absolutely blown away by Oscar Wilde’s flowing and ever clever prose––and especially by his amazing insight into the human condition. In fact, it seemed that nearly every page had another outstanding comment on life and people that was profound, and often very funny too. You can’t go wrong with this collection of great novels.

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode. Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you. Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover. All sales are final.
