Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders () is a novel by surrealist Czech writer Vítězslav Nezval, written in 1935 and first published ten years afterward in 1945. The avant-garde experimental novel was written before Nezval's dramatic shift to Socialist Realism. It was made into a 1970 Czech film directed by Jaromil Jireš, an example of Czech New Wave cinema. 

With this novel, Nezval explored the gothic themes and settings of such novels as Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" (1818) and M. G. Lewis' "The Monk" (1796), as well as F. W. Murnau's film "Nosferatu" (1922; based on 1897 novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker).

The 2005 English edition features the illustrations by Kamil Lhoták that appeared in the original edition.
