The Monster Show
Featuring a new Afterword by the author. Illuminating the dark side of the American century, The Monster Show uncovers the surprising links between horror entertainment and the great social crises of our time, as well as horror's function as a pop analogue to surrealism and other artistic movements. With penetrating analyses and revealing anecdotes, David J. Skal chronicles one of our most popular and pervasive modes of cultural expression. He explores the disguised form in which Hollywood's classic horror movies played out the traumas of two world wars and the Depression; the nightmare visions of invasion and mind control catalyzed by the Cold War; the preoccupation with demon children that took hold as thalidomide, birth control, and abortion changed the reproductive landscape; the vogue in visceral, transformative special effects that paralleled the development of the plastic surgery industry; the link between the AIDS epidemic and the current fascination with vampires; and much

Mörkrets makter
'Mörkrets makter är en av de största upptäckterna i Draculas långa historia...' Så skriver skräck- och vampyrexperten John E. Browning i förordet. Detta är en unik version av Bram Stokers bloddrypande mästerverk. Den publicerades i Sverige 1899, en tegelstensroman dubbelt så lång som klassikern från 1897. Men också betydligt mer våldsam och erotisk. Det råder inte mycket tvivel om att Bram Stoker själv var delaktig -- avsiktligt eller oavsiktligt -- i tillkomsten av Mörkrets makter. Här finns ett myller av scener och karaktärer som går att hitta i Stokers arbetsanteckningar till Dracula, men som ströks till den slutliga versionen. Forskare har dragit slutsatsen att denna svenska roman redigerades med ett tidigt utkast till Dracula som grund. Både fans av Dracula och nya läsare får här en mycket annorlunda berättelse att fördjupa sig i, med ett helt nytt slut. Greve Draculitz (som han heter i romanen) har inte bara för avsikt att sprida vampyrsläktet över världen; han konspirerar med
Dracula
As fledgling English lawyer Jonathan Harker treks into the Carpathian Mountains to complete a real estate transaction, frightened peasants warn him of horrible dangers that await him. Harker, terrified by eerie events along the way, finally meets his client, Count Dracula, a tall, gaunt old man with a surprisingly powerful handshake. Harker soon realizes that he is a prisoner in Dracula’s sumptuously furnished castle—a castle strangely devoid of mirrors. Later, as fifty coffin-size boxes are brought into the castle in preparation for Dracula’s departure, Harker knows that the count plans to do more in London than see the sights—and fears that the rational modern world is ill-equipped to recognize, let alone defeat, the count.

Dracula
First published in 1897, Bram Stoker’s classic tale of a group of English friends tormented by a ruthless vampire returns in this eerie edition with a freshly reimagined cover! When Jonathan Harker, a young English lawyer, journeys to the Carpathian Mountains to meet with a new client, his perception of reality warps as he experiences a series of paranormal events involving his host, Count Dracula, three women staying in his castle, and the local wolves. Jonathan wakes disoriented in a Budapest hospital with his fiancée Mina at his side. But the count’s appetites are far from sated. He lands on the shores of England, leaving no survivors among the ship’s crew. From there, Dracula stalks Mina’s best friend, Lucy, who becomes very ill. Lucy’s friends rally around her—one of them even recruiting an old teacher, Professor Abraham Van Helsing—but she eventually succumbs to her sickness. Mina and Jonathan reunite with their friends and Van Helsing intent on revenge. But can these ordinary
Dracula
This quintessential vampire story helped to reshape the world of horror fiction. Irish author Bram Stoker introduced the character of Count Dracula and provided much of the basis of modern vampire fiction in his 1897 novel Dracula. Written as a series of letters, newspaper clippings, diary entries, and ships' logs, the story begins with lawyer Jonathan Harker journeying to meet Dracula at his remote castle to complete a real estate transaction. Harker soon discovers that he is being held prisoner, and that Dracula has a rather disquieting nocturnal life. Touching on themes such as Victorian culture, immigration, and colonialism, among others, this timeless classic is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats Featuring colorful sprayed edges and a heat-burnished cover with foil stamping, this edition of Dracula is a stylish addition to your bookshelf.
Dracula and Dracula's Guest
When estate agent solicitor's clerk Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to assist Count Dracula with the purchase of his London house, he discovers more about his client and his castle than he might wish.... Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, originally titled The Un-Dead, was first published in 1897. It has had a profound influence on world literature. It has enjoyed enormous popularity since its publication and is singularly responsible for spawning an extraordinary vampire subculture in the second half of the twentieth century. Over a thousand novels and hundreds of films feature Dracula or other vampires, not to mention the countless cartoons, comics, and television programmes which were ultimately inspired by Stoker's work. This edition includes the short story 'Dracula's Guest', which was published in 1914 by Stoker's widow, Florence, who said of the story: 'It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is
