Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, subtitled The Modern Prometheus, is a seminal work of Gothic literature and science fiction. Told through a unique epistolary and nested narrative, the novel delves into the tragic consequences of unchecked ambition and scientific hubris. The story primarily follows Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant Swiss student obsessed with discovering the secret to creating life.

Bram Stoker's Dracula is a chilling and iconic Gothic horror novel told through an epistolary format, comprising letters, diary entries, newspaper articles, and phonograph recordings. The story begins with Jonathan Harker, a young English solicitor, travelling to Transylvania to finalise the purchase of several London properties by the enigmatic Count Dracula.

George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four paints a chilling and unforgettable picture of a totalitarian future state called Oceania. Years after a global war, society is rigidly controlled by the Party, led by the enigmatic and ever-watchful Big Brother. The Party maintains absolute power through constant surveillance, thought control, and the manipulation of history and language.

The Phantom of the Opera is a masterpiece of Gothic horror and romance, exploring the themes of beauty and monstrosity, and the fine line between genius and madness. Leroux’s rich, journalistic style, which frames the story as a real-life investigation, adds to the novel's chilling authenticity. It's a gripping and deeply moving read that explores the tragic depths of a soul craving acceptance, and the lengths one will go to for love. The book is the foundation for countless adaptations, from the iconic Lon Chaney film to the world-famous Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, but none capture the full, terrifying poetry of Leroux's original vision. Discover the true terror and heart-break of the Paris Opéra's most famous resident.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's only novel, is a captivating work of Gothic fiction and a cornerstone of the Aestheticism movement. The story follows the handsome and naive Dorian Gray, who becomes the subject of a portrait by the talented artist Basil Hallward. Under the influence of the cynical and witty Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian becomes obsessed with his own youth and beauty.
