These classic stories are presented in unabridged formats with attached ribbon bookmarks. Accompanying the texts are a handful of effectively creepy scratchboard drawings that illustrate choice details (e.g., in Poe's "Berenice," the "instruments of dental surgery" surrounded by extracted teeth). The books conclude with some generic open-ended questions. Review covers these titles: The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe and Dracula.
