Victorian Gothic Horror: Three iconic monsters and their creators

The streets are dark and full of shadows. Creatures, ghosts and revenants haunt cities, laboratories and castles. Let us take you back to Victorian times, a century full of Gothic Horror. We will look at three books from that era that have brought about iconic monsters: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley‘s Frankenstein (1818), Robert Louis Stevenson‘s Jekyll and Hyde (1886), and Bram Stoker‘s Dracula (1897). Let them scare and seduce you, but above all, let them be a warning on a cold and foggy night out. Come see our lecture accompanied by reading of selected passages. Come if you dare!
