'Nosferatu began his reign of stark, silent, chiaroscuro terror over the public consciousness in 1922, when he first crawled onto cinema screens. No glamourous, cultured European vampire like the literary gothic titan whose legend he was trying to usurp. No: he was a thing of blade-like, angled animal talon and fang; hideous by any measure.

'Inspired by F. W. Murnau's masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema, supported by Max Schreck's sinister portrayal of Nosferatu an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula this book presents a powerful collection of fiction by some of the best voices in contemporary horror. Look inside and be astounded.'
