100+ Horror Collection. Scary Stories to Read in Bed Tonight: The Tell-Tale Heart, Frankenstein, The King in Yellow, The Rose Garden, Number 13, The Call of Cthulhu, The Horror at Red Hook, The Willows and Others

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form… As may naturally be expected of a form so closely connected with primal emotion, the horror-tale is as old as human thought and speech themselves. H. P. Lovecraft Horror intends to create an eerie and frightening atmosphere for the reader. Prevalent elements include ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, ghouls, the Devil, witches, monsters, dystopian and apocalyptic worlds, serial killers, cannibalism, psychopaths, cults, dark magic, Satanism, the macabre, gore, and torture.

Three Gothic Novels: Frankenstein, Carmilla, Dracula

"Three Gothic Novels is a compelling collection that brings together three quintessential works of Gothic literature: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, and Bram Stoker's Dracula. Each novel delves into the macabre and the supernatural, exploring themes of fear, horror, and the unknown, while also probing deeper questions about humanity, morality, and the boundaries of science and nature. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley tells the haunting tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who defies natural laws to create life, only to be horrified by the monstrous being he brings into existence. This groundbreaking novel is not just a horror story but also a profound exploration of ambition, responsibility, and the ethical limits of scientific exploration. Shelley's intricate narrative raises enduring questions about creation, isolation, and the human condition. Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla introduces readers to one of literature's first female vampires. Set in a remote Austrian estate, the novella follows the mysterious and alluring Carmilla as she ingratiates herself into the lives of the residents, particularly the young and innocent Laura. Through its atmospheric storytelling and psychological complexity, Carmilla explores themes of predation, sexuality, and the supernatural, laying the groundwork for many modern vampire tales. Bram Stoker's Dracula is perhaps the most iconic vampire story ever written. The novel chronicles the efforts of Count Dracula to move from Transylvania to England, where he seeks to spread the undead curse. Through the diaries and letters of characters like Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray, and Dr. Van Helsing, Stoker weaves a gripping narrative of suspense, horror, and the battle between good and evil. Dracula is a richly layered novel that delves into Victorian anxieties about sexuality, immigration, and the limits of modernity. Together, these three novels represent the pinnacle of Gothic fiction, each contributing to the genre's development and enduring popularity. Three Gothic Novels is an essential collection for anyone interested in the roots of horror and the exploration of the dark and mysterious aspects of the human psyche. Contents: Mary Shelley: Frankenstein Sheridan Le Fanu: Carmilla Bram Stoker: Dracula"

The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter

"For English people Beatrix Potter (1866–1943) is as famous as L.Carroll and A.A.Milne. We hardly know her fairy tales: in spite of their simplicity, her wonderful stories about rabbits, mice, frogs, and squirrels are very difficult to translate – they are full of idioms, puns and lambent humour. Graham Greene called Beatrix Potter 'Children' Jane Austen' for deep understanding of the human nature, soft irony, ideal language and style. The collection The Great Big Treasury of Beatrix Potter contains her best fairy tales that have been stealing a way to little readers' hearts for almost one hundred years already. Contents: The Tale of Peter Rabbit The Tailor of Gloucester The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin The Tale of Benjamin Bunny The Tale of Two Bad Mice The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle The Pie and the Patty-Pan The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit The Story of Miss Moppet The Tale of Tom Kitten The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck The Roly-Poly Pudding The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies The Tale of Mrs. TittleMouse The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes The Tale of Mr. Tod The Tale of Pigling Bland Ginger and Pickles"

The Upper Berth

"In 1894, American writer Francis Marion Crawford published the popular novel 'The Upper Berth.' 'Mr Crawford's weird story of the Upper Berth is no doubt one of the best ghost stories we have had .... It is a novelty in the literature of supernatural. Crawford treats his subject a vigor and a realism that will make the flesh of ordinary reader creep and will stir the nerves even the most hardened and skeptical.' Every now and again, the smell sea water permeates the air, as if the cabin had been flooded and never properly repaired. The porthole opens repeatedly in the night with no conceivable reason. And the last few passengers who have slept in the upper berth have run through the ship like men possessed to throw themselves into the ocean. Mr. Brisbane, resident of the lower berth, and the ship's captain wait up all night to get to the bottom of the mystery... and neither will ever sail on that boat again."

Man Overboard!

"Peculiar happenings aboard the schooner Helen B. Jackson when one night during a storm, the small crew found themselves diminished by one. Somebody had gone overboard, and it was surmised that it was one of the twin Benton brothers. But oddly enough, it seemed that the 'presence' of the missing twin continued to exist on board during the following weeks. For example, one extra set of silverware was found to be used after each meal, but nobody claimed to be using them. What then did happen that stormy night, and which brother, if indeed it was one of the brothers, was the man who went overboard?"

The Time Machine

"The Time Machine is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895. One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller-a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. As he travels to as far as 802,701 AD, The Time Traveller encounters a world dominated by two types of creatures- beautiful and fragile Eloi and repulsive and brutal Morlocks. His journey then turns quickly from a series of observations into a dangerous quest to return back home, as he realizes that Morlocks have stolen his machine. A dystopian novel that fascinates the readers from the very beginning, The Time Machine both reflects Wells's sceptical outlook on the future of the Late Victorian England and makes the reader meditate on the future of our civilization."
