[Ken W · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not all the stories are 5 stars, but having these classics in one book is.
1. Horace Walpole - The Castle of Otranto (1764)
2. Mary Shelley - Frankenstein (1818)
3. Robert Louis Stevenson - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1818)
4. Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890)
5. Bram Stoker - Dracula (1897)
6. Henry James - The Turn of the Screw (1898)

Reread The Turn of the Screw for a book club.

I just read the Castle of Otranto this time because it was described as the first gothic novel. The writing was not excellent but I loved reading the story, very of its time and started out with murder in the first page so that was a plus.
