Bøger i Penny Dreadful serien

Fifteen chilling tales recount some of the earliest examples of vampire lore ever published. Gothic tales, traditional folklore, satire, psychological horror, and even romance set the stage for a diverse cast of undead characters, including the first ever black vampire story, gay vampires, lesbian vampires, psychic vampires, some old, some young, but all bloodthirsty! This anthology also features the first vampire story ever set in the Carpathian region (The Mysterious Stranger, a possible influence on Bram Stoker), as well as Stoker's own story Dracula's Guest, excised by his publisher from his classic Dracula novel before publication.CONTENTS:A Fragment (1816) - Lord ByronThe Vampyre (1819) - John William PolidoriThe Black Vampyre (1819) - Uriah Derick D'ArcyClarimonde (1836) - Théophile GautierThe Mysterious Stranger (1854) - Anonymous (Karl von Wachsmann)Carmilla (1872) - J.

My name is not actually Penny Dreadful. It is Penelope Jones. The 'Dreadful' bit is my dad's JOKE. But this time I really wasn't trying to be DREADFUL... No. I was just trying to DO MY BEST, so it is completely not my fault that right now I am sort of blueish all over and so is my sister Daisy's swan outfit. And I was also really TRYING TO HELP Joshua Bottomley fall in love with Daisy by doing a science experiment on him, but I did not know that he would just go a bit pale and green and it would all turn into one BIG kerfuffle! This is a highly illustrated ebook that can only be read on the Kindle Fire or other tablet. "e;ANY child who likes a bit of mayhem will enjoy PENNY DREADFUL CAUSES A KERFUFFLE by Joanna Nadin. Penny means well but things never work out quite the way she plans especially when there's a chemistry set involved. A perfect choice for fans of Horrid Henry and Jeremy Strong."e; - The Sunday Express
