Upon its publication in 1897, Bram Stokers iconic gothic horror novel was the result of years of research, and was widely praised. The story is told in epistolary form, tracing the journey of the young solicitor Jonathan Harker as he travels to the Carpathian Mountains, his subsequent imprisonment in Draculas castle, the Counts arrival in England, and the battle fought between the vampire and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Stoker himself made little money from the books success, and would die in poverty, but his legacy shows no sign of waning; the legendary figure of Dracula has spawned countless books, films, and television series. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form as we know it today.

Because voyeurism is human nature and there is nothing more appealing to IT-specialists than to find things others not even have lost!Wolfies Law # 2A secret surveillance or spying is the more intensive the harsher and more restrictive data security laws in this country are. Why? Nothing is more appealing than forbidden fruits!Wolfies Law # 3Most of the inhabitants of this planet dont fight secret surveillance or spying. Why? Because they are human sheep who arent disturbed by these practices as little as animalistic sheep fights shearing, having the misguided opinion theyve got nothing to hide!Wolfies Law # 4The louder a whistleblower like Snowden blows his horn, the tighter human sheep cover their ears.

You are about to read a collection of the most inhuman, perverted, obscene and disgusting tales ever written - and those tales are written by the most perverted man in the world - Baldassare Cossa. Hated by all of society, shunned and despised by everyone on every social networking site. Feared, loathed, outcast - only a man so abhorrent could write stories so depraved. These short stories make for an extreme philosophy - based on the choices people are forced to make in extreme circumstances. Whats worse - is Cossa shows that sometimes the most awful and extreme situations, that result in extreme and evil behaviour - are the most banal, boring, routine, monotonous - the most moral lifestyles, that can lead to the most horrific consequences. Sometimes the characters are victims of horror, sometimes victims of boredom, sometimes witnesses of horror or boredom or both - and sometimes the characters are simply psychopathic monsters with too much power and nothing to stop them doing what they do.

You see that Anna led an arduous and troubled life Her face was worn, her cheeks were thin, her mouth drawn and firm, and her light blue eyes were very bright. Sometimes they were full of lightning and sometimes full of humour, but they were always sharp and clear.Under the grey, industrial skies of Bridgepoint (modelled on Baltimore), three women Anna, Melanctha and Lena live, work and love. Painting a powerful portrait of women trapped in drudgery, Steins Three Lives is a ground-breaking portrayal of abuse and non-heteronormative sexuality, and is a searing indictment of the struggles of the working class in turn-of-the-century America.An astonishing work that toys with style and conventions, Three Lives stands as a monument in Modernism and experimental literature, and comes from the pen of a writer whose intelligence and understanding bleeds from every page.

Jane Austens first novelpublished posthumously in 1818tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austens fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.Northanger Abbey is a coming-of-age novel and a satire of Gothic novels written by Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey was actually the first finished novel that Jane Austen wrote.The story revolves around Catherine Morland, the young and naive "heroine", and her journey to a better understanding of herself and the world around her.When she is invited by her wealthy neighbors, the Fullertons, to accompany them to the spa town of Bath she experiences her first taste of the fashionable upper class society of England. While there she meets the clever young gentleman, Henry Tilney, his sister Eleanor, and their father, the imposing General Tilney. The Tilneys invite Catherine to come stay with them at their estate, the titular Northanger Abbey. Catherines naive over-active imagination quickly leads to embarrassment when she infers some sinister circumstances regarding the lack of emotion that General Tilney shows for the loss of his deceased wife. Eventually she realizes that real life is not at all like that of a Gothic novel. Noted for the insight it gives to Austens one opinions of the literature of her day.Northanger Abbey is both a satirical parody of the gothic romance novel and the story of a young girls maturation into womanhood.

Gullivers Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ships surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gullivers final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire - in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gullivers Travels has been interpreted since its first publication.

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.Shelley travelled through Europe in 1815 along the river Rhine in Germany, stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometres (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before, an alchemist engaged in experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. Galvanism and occult ideas were topics of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. In 1816, Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley was inspired to write Frankenstein after imagining a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made.Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story. In contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, Aldiss states that the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. The novel has had a considerable influence on literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays.
