Stage Fright: Horror Anthology, Volume 1 (Stage Fright Collection)

The tingle of fear down your spine, the catch in your breath when suspense takes hold, the inescapable sense that something dangerous is lurking just outside your vision…Horror. Horror theatre has a long and bloodcurdling history, from Shakespeare’s Macbeth to the penny dreadfuls of the Grand Guignol. This compilation collects three modern horror plays by Joseph Zettelmaier, award-winning playwright and life-long fan of all things eerie. In this collection, you will find… Dr. Seward’s Dracula, a re-examination of Bram Stoker’s bloody vampire novel, featuring Stoker himself! Set after Dracula’s murders, the survivors attempt to put together their lives, while Dr. John Seward struggles to determine fact from fantasy. The Gravedigger: A Frankenstein Story, a gothic drama inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein! In this play, a lost chapter of the book as it were, Frankenstein’s creature finds itself drawn back to the cemetery from whence it came. There, a bizarre friendship is formed, but can it last when the creature’s sins come back to haunt him? Campfire, a modern fright-fest and homage to the classic anthology horror movies! When Marcus Carver brings his few remaining kin back to the family farm, a stranger finds her way into their circle. Tales are told around the campfire, in an old forest that holds many sinister secrets, both past and present.
