{"product_id":"2940152496192","title":"The Frightful Fifty: 50 Dreadful Singles","description":"\u003cp\u003eHorror and suspense are not new topics in classic literature. While many are familiar with titles such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and the stories and poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, there is a plethora of older and lesser known tales of terror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese short stories (and some poems) contain all of the elements that are still popular with modern horror and suspense: vampires, ghosts, killers, and the supernatural. While some of the titles give away what each piece of literature is about topically, some aren't as clear. I feel that not knowing what you are about to read will be more of a surprise. This is not unlike watching a film without reading the synopsis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Bram Stoker----A Dream of Red Hands\u003cbr\u003e2. S.
