Gothic & Horror
Classic gothic novels, in modern English.
Gothic literature gave the world its lasting images of dread: the laboratory and the locked room, the portrait that will not stay still, the creature made and then abandoned. These are the novels that invented modern horror — and they remain far stranger and more humane than the century of imitation that followed them. Each Aeneas Press edition presents the complete work with spelling and punctuation in present-day American usage, illustrated with credited full-page plates.
