Mary Horror

Few creatures of horror have seized imaginations and held them for so long as the anguished monster of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The story of Victor Frankenstein's terrible creation and the havoc it caused has enthralled generations of readers and listeners and inspired countless writers of horror and suspense.

The story concerns a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who conducts a great experiment to see if he can create a living being from the body parts of corpses. Only whe the experiment is successful does he begin to think of the ethics and consequences of what he has done. The creature he created becomes embittered when he finds that no one will love him becuase of his appearance.

Almost always when we think of Ghost Stories, we first think of those written by the Victorians. Whatever the reasons given or proffered the reality and known facts are that if you want a really good ghost story to bring that edge of chill, that foreboding of dread, that feeling that in an empty house we are not quite alone and that sometimes the sharp, sheer shock of what just happened is upon us then look no further than ‘The Victorian Ghost Story’ for your listening pleasure.

For a century Bram Stoker's Dracula has reigned supreme as the undisputed masterpiece of horror writing. We have all grown up under the shadow of the elegant Count, at once an attractive, brutal and erotic creature of the night. The gothic tale of Frankenstein and his construction of a human being which runs amok, has, with the help of numerous films, become one of the most vivid horror stories.

Victor Frankenstein er en ung og ærgerrig videnskabsmand, der drømmer om at skabe sit eget levende væsen - af rester af lig. Han har opdaget, hvordan det kan lade sig gøre og forestiller sig at skabe noget smukt, men sådan går det som bekendt ikke. Han skaber et monster, som han ikke kan holde af, og så går det løs. Monsteret flygter, lever som udstødt og indleder en uhyggelig vendetta for at påkalde sig Frankensteins opmærksomhed. Mary Shelleys klassiske gyser- og science fictionroman fra 1818 foreligger nu i en ny oversættelse af Jakob Levinsen.

Unwilling to stand around and wait while Eva's been taken over by one of the Despairity, Frost works tirelessly with Beau and Leo to figure out how to free her sister. Leo shows Frost memories of The Before, and Beau admits to a chilling connection with the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. And when Alora reveals her sinister plan - to build an unconquerable army of Blurred Ones by placing them inside the perfect hosts - the girls and their friends must fight to protect not just Bloodcreek, but all of the world.

Eva and Frost are pretty stoked about their blooming hunting skills. But when they finally meet Raylan’s sister, Tess, after a witch-doctor hunt in New Orleans, the group dynamic gets rather awkward. Tess wants to kill Knox straight up dead. As in, drag him up from the bottom of the old mine shaft and use Tess’ favorite snake from the Louisiana bayou to finish the job. Eva loves the idea of bonding with Tess and being extra sure that Knox will never come back to harm them. But Maggie ain’t thrilled at the idea, and Frost is a little distracted by her new cowboy boy-toy.

Though they may all be siblings beneath the skin (and graveyard as well!), these vampiric sisters are as different as any eight women could be. One, "The Good Lady Ducayne", prefers to acquire her nourishment through more scientific means. Another doesn't even drink blood at all; her approach to draining the life from her victims is somewhat more direct (but we think you'll agree that "Luella Miller" deserves the appellation "vampire" every bit as much as any of the rest).

During the rainy summer of 1816, the "Year Without a Summer", the world was locked in a long cold volcanic winter caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. Mary Shelley, aged 18, and her lover (and later husband) Percy Bysshe Shelley, visited Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The weather was consistently too cold and dreary that summer to enjoy the outdoor holiday activities they had planned, so the group retired indoors until dawn.
