Description
The Dracula’s Guestl is a gripping short story collection of scary stories that will transport readers deep into the heart of the gothic horror genre and literature collection. It was written by Bram Stoker, an Irish novelist. His wife published it after his death, in 1914. It is a timeless literary fiction masterpiece that has been The eponymous novella is said to be the missing first chapter of Stoker’s renowned 1897 novel Dracula, which was deleted before publication. With vivid fascinating characters, these stories will have readers on the edge of their seats, anxiously turning each page for the next horrifying discovery. Sneak Peek “Go home, Johann — Walpurgis Nacht doesn’t concern Englishmen.” Summary “”Dracula’s Guest”” follows an Englishman on a visit to Munich before departing for Transylvania. It’s Walpurgis Night, and despite the hotelier’s caution not to return late, the young man eventually quits his carriage and travels into an abandoned “”unholy”” town. As the carriage drives away with the terrified and superstitious driver, a tall and skinny figure shocks the horses at the top of a hill. After a few hours, as he approaches a lonesome valley, it begins to snow. As a terrible storm intensifies, the Englishman seeks refuge in a forest of cypress and yew trees. The Englishman’s location is soon revealed by moonlight to be a cemetery, and he finds himself in front of a marble tomb with a massive iron stake driven through the ceiling; the inscription reads: “”Countess Dolingen of Gratz, in Styria, sought and found death, 1801.”” He is forced to seek cover in the tomb’s entryway due to hail. The tomb’s bronze door opens beneath his weight, showing a “”beautiful woman with rounded cheeks and red lips, seemingly sleeping on a bed.”” The power of the ensuing thunderclap knocks the Englishman out of the doorway, and another lightning bolt strikes the iron spike, demolishing the tomb and the now-screaming woman. Readers will experience a thrilling voyage into the darkest regions of Stoker’s mind. From the haunting vistas of Transylvania to the fog-shrouded alleys of London, each narrative adds another layer of fear and suspense. Antiquated curses, evil nocturnal monsters, and the unrelenting advance of darkness are all to be expected.
