That the sixty-four year reign of Queen Victoria generated more than its share of horrors, no one can deny. The back-streets of Victorian London, those grim, overcrowded warrens of despair, were a bustling breeding ground of horror and, if the stories in these pages are to be believed, the evils were not solely confined to the social. It was, after all, amongst those very tenements that the good Doctor Jekyll made the acquaintance of the monstrous Mister Hyde . . . that Count Dracula sought new blood . . . and that the ageless Dorian Gray pursued his quest for novel vices. And, confirming that truth is not only stranger but often more horrifying than fiction, it was in those same joyless streets, where the gaslight glare struggled through an eternal pall of fog thick as the smoke from Stephenson's engines, that there lurked the Demon of Whitechapel, he who sent human kidneys to the police and crowing letters to the press and signed himself, in a red scrawl, Jack the Ripper. . .

In this first volume of macabre classics are eight scalp-tingling tales:
