Penguin has recently released a series of 10 works of classic 'Gothic Red' literature with covers as wicked as the words inside. Featuring the fiction of Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stroker, H.P. Lovecraft among other masters of the macabre, these books are a fantastic blend of grisly nightmares and great design.

To read a taste of Poe's gothic horror go to Penguin's taster's page and you can download a free pdf version of the haunting short tale, "The Tell-Tale Heart."

To hear more about senior Penguin book designer, Coralee Bickford-Smith's creative process for Red Classics - a series 'design to get you hiding under the covers,' watch the following video interview.
