Gothic masterpieces, detective fiction, and chilling poetry—the Collective Works of Edgar Allan Poe stand as a monumental achievement in literary history. The collection is most famous for its short stories, which range from the terrifying to the cerebral. Readers will find the chilling tales of a disturbed narrator in "The Tell-Tale Heart" and the claustrophobic dread of "The Fall of the House of Usher." Poe’s genius also lies in his invention of detective fiction with stories like "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," which introduced the brilliant and eccentric C. Auguste Dupin, the prototype for all great literary detectives who followed.

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.

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.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is one of the most iconic works in English literature, a gripping tale that explores the unsettling duality of human nature. First published in 1886, Stevenson’s novella follows the respected Dr Henry Jekyll as he attempts to isolate the darker aspects of his personality through a daring scientific experiment. The result is the creation of Edward Hyde, a figure who embodies Jekyll’s most dangerous impulses and threatens to unravel his life entirely.
