Dracula and Frankenstein

by Bram Stoker

Published 23 October 2008
Together at last in all of their terrifying splendour are two of the most accomplished, involving and scary tales ever written. Blood curdling, fang baring, cape swishing and utterly captivating, they're sure to thrill and delight.Frankenstein (1818) is the definitive fable about genetic modification gone haywire which is only too relevant to modern times. Victor Frankenstein decides to build a man from assembled body parts stolen from corpses. What results, of course, is a 'monster', but the mastery of Shelley's storytelling leaves a listener asking themselves what a 'monster' really is - and feeling thoroughly frightened.Dracula (1897) follows Jonathan Harker, an English solicitor, who travels to Transylvania to meet the mysterious 'Count' who has instructed him to purchase a property in England on his behalf. Thus begins a series of awful events, which will have a listener reaching for their crucifixes and garlic bulbs!
