This is a seven-book set of Gothic horror classics. Gothic literature is rooted in Romanticism, with vivid sensory prose, expressive emotions, and the sublime. The set adds terror, horror, and the supernatural to those elements.
The authors are Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, Ann Radcliffe, Sheridan Le Fanu, and Oscar Wilde. Many late 18th and early 19th-century authors used these elements to give mystery and romance a new form.
Each book is wrapped in a jacket inspired by well-worn Victorian-era bindings. The jackets use subtle shading, and together the spines show a ghostly image of a skull.
