Fear and Trembling: A Collection of Classic Poetry and Prose

by Kevin Crossley-Holland (Introduction), Kate Agnew (Editor)

Synopsis

Teenagers love horror, both in verse and in stories. This book will introduce them to the genre through a mixture of well-known and much loved texts as well as less familiar but equally eerie tales from the past, taking the theme in its broadest sense. Contents include some darker versions of traditional tales as well as material from classic texts and books in translation - Frankenstein, Dracula, Beowulf, Sir Gawain, some Shakespeare, Faust, Shelley, Keats, Walter de la Mare and Edgar Allen Poe.
