Penny Dreadfuls : sensation...
"Welcome to Penny Dreadfuls, an anthology of twenty "sensation stories" all first published in the nineteenth century. The original penny dreadfuls were cheaply printed, inexpensive publications written to titillate the masses with shocking thrills and lurid horrors. Over time, "penny dreadful" became a catch-phrase for any story steeped in gothic horror that pushed the limits of what was acceptable in popular fiction"--Inside cover
