1.		The Woman in White (Penguin Popular Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £1.80 Customer Review: This book was quite unlike any I had previously read. While it was written in 1859 it is still - almost 150 years later - a book as gripping as it presumably was all those years ago for Victorian and Edwardian readers brought up on such spooky classics as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dracula and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Necronomicon: The Best Weird Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft: Necronomicon (Gollancz S.F.) from Gollancz Price: £14.00 Customer Review: I bought this recently, having never read (but often heard about) Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos. I'm only about a third of the way through, but it seems pretty good (although the author does seem to have swallowed a thesaurus - and a particularly gibbous and over-nourished one at that, most... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Dracula (Wordsworth Classics) from Wordsworth Editions Ltd Price: £1.89 Customer Review: If you have not read this book, read it. Now. I have read it many times, and it keeps getting better. Stoker's descriptive language is wonderful, painting such a vivid picture in the reader's mind that you really feel like you are there. It is such a shame that nowadays no-one can read it without... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Selected Tales (Penguin Popular Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £1.80 Customer Review: If you are drawn to surrealist work you will definitely enjoy this book. The stories have been written as a collection of gothic tales, but I found myself laughing at the tragedy of it all most of the time! Well written, warped literature.

6.		The Picture of Dorian Gray (Penguin Classics) from Longman Price: £4.49 Customer Review: After reading a review of "The Ripper Code" in the TLS, I had to return to my school favourite and reread it. It was fascinating to read it in a new light.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Dracula (Penguin Classics) from Longman Price: £3.99 Customer Review: Bram Stoker's gothic thriller, is a dark supernatural horror story that we all know and even if we didn't, draws on all the innate archetypes of fear. The story unfolds for all the human protagonists in apparent innocence, however any disbelief soon is swept away by the horror that they face.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Frankenstein: Or "The Modern Prometheus" - The 1818 Text (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford Paperbacks Customer Review: Inevitably dated by style and pace, not to mention a somewhat heavy-handed way with analogy, this remains a touchstone for gothic and speculative fiction. Any horror comes purely from the internal dialogues of Victor Frankenstein himself, and from the taunts of his creation, rather than from the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Monk (Dover Thrift Editions) from Dover Publications Inc. Price: £3.50 Customer Review: This book was briefly mentioned in Jane Austin's Northanger Abbey adaptation so I thought I'll check it out and, surprisingly found it a good read. Although written a long while back, the language used is extremely easy for today's reader. I considered it is a real page turner with full of events... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Call of Cthulhu: And Other Weird Stories (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: £6.49 Customer Review: Forget Stephen King, Lovecraft IS the true master of horror. Ok, some stories may be just oniric ramblings like Celephais or Festival, but never has anyone scared me so much over so few pages and for every lemon of a story there are four peaches, and that is good trade off. Even though... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
