Penny dreadful : the complete series / Showtime presents in association with Sky ; producers, Sheila Hockin, James Flynn, Morgan O'Sullivan ; created by John Logan.
"Some of literature's most terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula are lurking in the darkest corners of Victorian London. They are joined by a core of original characters in a complex, frightening new narrative. Penny Dreadful is a psychological thriller filled with dark mystery and suspense, where personal demons from the past can be stronger than vampires, evil spirits and immortal beasts."--Container
