Dracula's Guest and Other Stories by Bram Stoker

Dracula's Guest and Other Stories by Bram Stoker

This work is edited and introduced by David Stuart Davies. 'On top of the tomb, seemingly driven through the solid marble - for the structure was composed of a few vast blocks of stone - was a great iron spike or stake. On going to the back I saw, graven in great Russian letters: "The Dead Travel Fast'". In this rich collection of thirteen macabre tales, Bram Stoker, creator of the Gothic masterpiece, "Dracula", and one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, presents us with a weird and chilling variety of unsettling stories. Stoker's dramatic scenarios, from the opening tale of vampires, "Dracula's Guest", which was omitted from the final version of "Dracula", will thrill and engage the modern reader. In these pages, you will encounter the devilishly dangerous haunted room in "The Judge's House", the fatalistic tragedy in "The Burial of the Rats", the terror of revenge from beyond the grave in "The Secret of Growing Gold" and the surprising twist in the tail in "The Gypsy's Prophecy", amongst other strange and frightening episodes. This unique collection of Stoker's short fiction provides a feast for those who like to be unnerved as well as entertained.
