[Book] Frankenstein

Hidden behind the face of a monster, more hideous than the monster
An immortal classic that explores human desire

Mary Shelley's masterpiece, her most original and complete horror novel, which shocked the world by creating a terrifying monster armed with all kinds of hatred instead of the old clichés about women.
Frankenstein, a scientist who delved into the source of life and the structure of the human body, creates a huge and hideous monster while discovering a way to breathe life into a corpse.
The monster, possessed of powers beyond his own control, is consumed by hatred for his cynical and irresponsible creator and embarks on a terrible revenge.


Frankenstein is the first science fiction novel to sound the alarm about the indiscriminate advancement of science, and it is a powerful work that draws readers into the inescapable dilemma of a confrontation between a monster that one cannot help but pity and a human existence that one cannot help but deny.
Moreover, even after 200 years since its publication, it is still being constantly reproduced and reborn in numerous genres, proving its own greatness and is considered an immortal classic.


[Book] The Gray Lady

The fate and desires of oppressed women
The suspense that arises when you leave the house with the lights off

This book contains three representative horror novels by Elizabeth Gaskell, a writer who received great praise from Charles Dickens and was called a humanitarian, and who never lost her good will and trust in humanity.
All three works are the first to be published in Korea as single volumes by the author.
The title and representative work, the short story "The Gray Woman," is a breathtaking gothic thriller that depicts a woman who is forced into an unwanted marriage against her will, swayed by the persuasion of those around her and the social atmosphere that is difficult to go against, and who runs away from her husband when she realizes that he is a brutal murderer.
Gaskell left behind numerous short stories that densely and explosively portray the suspense that arises when the fate or desire of a repressed woman escapes the confines of a darkened home. This, coupled with the genre's characteristic of representing the deprived hopes of the socially disadvantaged, created a solid space for Gaskell in the history of Gothic novels.


[Book] Pomegranate Seeds

Edith Wharton, author of The Age of Innocence, invites you
A dangerous yet captivating world of crimson horror

Edith Wharton is a writer who has left a clear mark on the history of world literature with works such as The Age of Innocence, The House of Joy, and Ethan Frome, and is also a writer with a large readership in Korea. However, not many people know that she has consistently written Gothic novels and has established her own unique domain in the history of Gothic novels.
This book, which includes three of Wharton's Gothic novels and one of his representative works, translated for the first time in Korea, depicts a mystery and the process of pursuing it in a tense and persuasive style that cannot be found in other works that sharply dissect the hypocrisy of American upper-class society.
The title piece, a short story titled "Pomegranate Seeds," is about a woman whose only realm of activity after marriage becomes the home, and who uncovers the secrets contained in a mysterious letter, confronting taboos, hatred, and anxiety about women.


[Book] The Evil Voice

A genius who transcended the times with his dual identity
Vernon Lee's first domestic single-volume book

Contains three representative horror novels by British author Vernon Lee, whom Henry James described as “as dangerous and eerily strange as they are intelligent.”
All three works are the first to be published in Korea as single volumes by the author.
Vernon Lee's novels are characterized by distinctive characters possessing both humanistic knowledge and destructive charm, and the title story, "The Evil Voice," is also a work dealing with the madness of a composer who, following Wagner alone, considered music created by the human voice to be obscene and impure.
Vernon Lee's characters experience a world of hallucinations and illusions that are as frightening as they are familiar, and as new as they are frightening.
Furthermore, he questions, “Why must the present be right and the past wrong?” and transcends any space or time with art and history as the axes.


[Book] The Uninvited

It is the most solid and elaborately constructed 'ghost house' in the history of literature.
The dazzling achievements of modern women's gothic fiction

This is the first novel by Irish author Dorothy MacArdle, introduced in Korea for the first time, and is considered one of the most solid and elaborately constructed 'haunted houses' in literary history.
The story of a brother and sister, weary of city life, who buy a beautiful seaside cottage and experience strange events as they uncover the mystery surrounding the house, hides a surprising twist that instantly overturns the familiar plot.
McCardell, a feminist and political activist, defined herself as “an agitator without regret or shame,” a self-defined identity that did not change much after she began building her career as a novelist.
The Uninvited is a novel that is evaluated as the most exemplary reproduction of Gothic grammar and a work that keenly recognizes and raises issues about the position of women in the tradition of Gothic novels, and this is the proof.
