Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by
Academy Award-winning director of The Shape of Water Guillermo del Toro
Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the
curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and
poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro's favorites,
from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ray Russell's short story Sardonicus,
considered by Stephen King to be perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic
ever written, to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray
Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates,
