Story
A brand-new dramatised retelling of Milton’s epic poem about the fall of man, with Milton as the narrator, adapted by one of the leading poets and thinkers of our generation: Michael Symmons Roberts. Paradise Lost was first published in 1667 and tells the story of Satan’s plot to bring about the fall of man by tempting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This brand-new adaptation begins in the midst of the action and follows the exploits of a hero (or antihero) taking in warfare and the supernatural and expressing the ideals and traditions of a people. Milton himself is the blind narrator, grieving the loss of his wife, whose eyesight worsens as the drama develops.

Story
This chilling tale of a gruesome monster unleashed into the world by an unthinking scientist was first conceived by 19-year-old Mary Shelley on a dark, rainy night on Lake Geneva. Lord Byron and Percy Shelley challenged their friends to see who could come up with the most horrifying story imaginable. Mary Shelley did, terrifying them all with her nightmare-inspired tale. It is followed by "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Coleridge which was an early haunting influence on the young Mary Shelley.

Now, Bram Stoker's Dracula - the pinnacle of Gothic horror for generations - rises again. When young English lawyer Jonathan Harker arrives in Transylvania on the eve of Saint George's Day, he cannot shake a strange feeling of uneasiness. The air grows colder as he arrives at his destination: the castle of Count Dracula. Jonathan has been summoned by the count for business, and while he finds his new host obliging and polite, he can't help but notice the man's pallid skin, odd lack of appetite, and long daytime absences.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Though they may all be siblings beneath the skin (and graveyard as well!), these vampiric sisters are as different as any eight women could be. One, "The Good Lady Ducayne", prefers to acquire her nourishment through more scientific means. Another doesn't even drink blood at all; her approach to draining the life from her victims is somewhat more direct (but we think you'll agree that "Luella Miller" deserves the appellation "vampire" every bit as much as any of the rest).

This rousing sea adventure follows New England boy Pym, who stows away on a whaling ship with its captain’s son, Augustus. The two boys repeatedly find themselves on the brink of death or discovery and witness many terrifying events, including mutiny, cannibalism and frantic pursuits. Poe imbued this deliberately popular tale with such allegorical richness, biblical imagery and psychological insights that the tale has come to influence writers as various as Melville, James, Verne and Nabokov.

Audible presents an original dramatisation of Charles Dickens' Dombey and Son, first published as Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation. A literary masterpiece in which Dickens' gift for vivid characterisation is at its best, this is the story of a powerful man whose inability to appreciate those around him leads to his lonely demise and, later, his possible redemption.

Wonderful rendition of two Gothic Horror classics!
It took me awhile to finish both books (I am not the fastest reader or listener), but I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute.
I am a Universal Monster and Hammer Horror fan girl. I read both Frankenstein & Dracula during my college years (how I wish I had Audible back then!) The former was mandatory reading and has since become my favorite horror classic for various reasons - and thus, opened up a rabbit hole which lead me to reading the latter. Though, I will admit to preferring some of the film, comic, Manga and other media adaptions of Dracula better than Stoker's novel, I still respect it.
Mr. Gildart Jackson is a fantastic narrator and voice actor. I previously heard him preform in the English adaptation of one my favorite anime (ironically, Hellsing Ultimate), and he is the sole reason I chose this version of Frankenstein & Dracula out of handful that were available on Audible. Needless to say, I was NOT disappointed!

Dracula was outstanding. Frankenstein was good.
In my opinion, the story of Frankenstein and the reading of it were fine-good. I did not feel my immersion into the story or passion from the reader.
Dracula was presented excellently. I was eager to listen whenever possible. I preferred this book over Frankenstein.

two for one!
Pretty good deal. Two classics together. Having only been exposed to the Hollywood versions of these stories, I was impressed at the major difference in heart and soul and overall feel of both of these Stories. Frankenstein I found to be a bit whiney for my taste, but Dracula was really good and not at all what I expected. Well worth the credit.

Both good, Dracula's better
It was nice to get both of these together as I wanted to listen to one or the other. Dracula was definitely the superior book in my opinion, but both were entertaining.
