Munich. A visiting Englishman out for a leisurely carriage ride, with a warning to return before dark. The carriage long gone and the man now lost among howling wolves in a cemetery on Walpurgis Night – “when the graves were open and the dead came forth and walked.” In this rich collection of 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.
