Summary

The Ultimate Horror Collection is a fully-indexed collection of over 60 classic horror stories, read by four Audie-winning narrators. Included here are stories by H.P. Lovecraft; Edgar Allan Poe; M.R. James; Oscar Wilde; Joseph Le Fanu; Bram Stoker; Mary Shelley; Robert Louis Stevenson; and Henry James.

The Picture of Dorian Gray - Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life; indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. 

Carmilla - In an isolated castle deep in the Austrian forest, Laura leads a solitary life with only her ailing father for company. Until one moonlit night, a horse-drawn carriage crashes into view, carrying an unexpected guest—the beautiful Carmilla. 

Frankenstein - Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein. 

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - More than a hundred years after it was written, this tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and the drug that unleashes his evil, inner persona—the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde—has lost none of its ability to shock. 

The Turn of the Screw - A very young woman's first job: governess for two weirdly beautiful, strangely distant, oddly silent children, Miles and Flora, at a forlorn estate...an estate haunted by a beckoning evil. 

Dracula - During a business visit to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania, a young English solicitor finds himself at the center of a series of horrifying incidents.

James stories - 'Canon Alberics Scrapbook'; 'Lost Hearts'; 'The Mezzotint'; 'The Ash-tree'; 'Number 13'; 'Casting the Runes'; 'Count Magnus'; 'Oh Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad'; 'A Warning to the Curious'; 'A View From a Hill'; 'A Neighbour's Landmark'; 'The Uncommon Prayer-Book'; 'Wailing Well'; 'The Fenstanton Witch'

30 Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems - 'A Descent into The Maelstrom'; 'A Tale of Jerusalem'; 'A Tale of the Ragged Mountain'; 'Eleonora'; 'The Black Cat'; 'The Cask of Amontillado'; 'The Fall of the House of Usher'; 'The Gold Bug'; 'The Hop Frog'; 'The Masque of Red Death'; 'The Murders in Rue Morgue'; 'The Mystery of Marie Roget'; 'The Oblong Box'; 'The Oval Portrait'; 'The Pit and the Pendulum'; 'The Purloined Letter'; 'The Tell-Tale Heart'; 'The Raven'; 'To Helen'; 'Ulalume'; 'A Dream Within a Dream'; 'Annabel Lee'; 'The Haunted Palace'; 'Alone'; 'Dream Land'; 'Eldorado'; 'The City in the Sea'; 'The Bells'; 'A Valentine'; 'A Sonnet to Science'

Beautiful

Well presented, with full chapter headings and clear navigation. Great presentation, easy listening. Superb!! All compilations and compediums should be this way.

I cannot praise this purchase enough. All of the original base material for modern horror in English is here.

Professional voice actors not just ripped from LibriVox or other sources.
