Jul 22, 2013 · But out of all his literary reimaginings, by far the greatest fit for Gorey’s singular brand of darkly delightful visual magic is Edward Gorey’s Dracula (public library), a special edition of the Bram Stoker classic originally published in 1977 and eventually adapted as a magnificent toy theater of die-cut foldups and foldouts. Gorey’s ...

While we tend to associate Count Dracula with Bela Lugosi because of his classic performance in the 1931 film (and his numerous portrayals of the vampire on stage). But Lugosi's clean-shaven count doesn't look much like the mustached monster described in Bram Stoker's original novel. In 1901, the first paperback edition of Draculawas released, feat...
The earliest illustration of the Creature from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was much more Rocky Horror than Herman Munster. The frontplate engraving for the book's 1831 edition, done by Theodor von Holst, is supposedly much closer to what Shelley had in mind for the Creature than the flat-topped, stitched-up monsters that now loom so large in out Fr...
We weren't able to find the original issues of Pearson's Weeklywhere H.G. Wells' tale of a scientist who turns himself invisible was first serialized in 1897. However, that same year, C. Arthur Pearson came out with a hardcover edition of the entire novel, with a picture of Griffin on the frontboard. There he is, in his fez, robe, and slippers—and,...
Another H.G. Wells novel, The War of the Worlds first appeared as a serialized story in Pearson's Magazine in 1897 (and actually, it was serialized at the same time in the US in Cosmopolitan). The original text of the story was accompanied by dramatic illustrations by famed artist Warwick Goble, adding to the otherworldly nature of the creatures hu...
So, let me get this out of the way: that is not the very first illustration of H.P. Lovecraft's most famous creation. Lovecraft's story "The Call of Cthulhu" first appeared in Weird Talesin February, 1928, and sadly, we were not able to get our hands on a copy, digital or otherwise. (By the way, if anyone happens to have the images from that issue,...
Another classic Lovecraft tale is "At the Mountains of Madness," which first appeared in Astounding Storiesin February 1936. In that issue, two different artists tackled Lovecraft's creatures. On the cover, Howard V. Brown took on the many-eyed Shoggoth. Oddly, artist behind the interior illustrations of the monstrous Elder Things and Shoggoth was ...
Because Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was adapted as a stage play a year after publication, some of our earliest images of the titular dual character come from the stage. (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hydeis hardly unique in this respect; Bram Stoker, for example, actually staged a dramatic reading of Dracu...
Getting into more beautiful monsters, we have the ageless villain from Oscar Wilde's 1891 novel A Picture of Dorian Gray. The book received an illustrated edition in 1910, with six engravings by Eugène Dété and Paul Thiriat. Sadly, the set above doesn't show us just how monstrous the portrait becomes.
There have, of course, been endless visual interpretations of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middel Earth and its myriad inhabitants, which Tolkien himself had varying feelings about. But Tolkien was himself a rather talented illustrator, even if he didn't think much about his own artwork. When Tolkien drew the Ringwraiths, also known as the Nazgûl, for the dust...
