Tales of Terror

80 pp. Contains classic horror novels adapted for young readers. Stories include "Dracula," "The Curse of the Mummy," "The Body Snatchers," "Monstrous Creation," "Sentence of Death," "The Barbarous Barber," "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," "The Devil's Bargain," and "The Hounds of Bakervilles." The fearful fictional figures of Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and the hideous hound of the Bakersvilles are frightening, but the true stories that join them in this collection are no less gruesome. Here you will meet unscrupulous dealers in human remains, a murderous barber whose victims were devoured by their unknowning fellow citizens, and a curse that clawed its victims to the grave across thousands of years. The dramatic illustrations of Graham Howells and David Leith bring these ghastly characters vividly to life, but your own imagination will add horrors of its own. Read these tales of terror if you dare!
