"Dracula's Guest" and Other Weird Tales ~ Paperback ~ Bram Stoker

Although Bram Stoker is best known for his world-famous novel "Dracula", he also wrote many shorter works on the strange and the macabre. This collection, comprising "Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories", a volume of spine-chilling short stories collected and published by Stoker's widow after his death, and "The Lair of the White Worm", an intensely intriguing novel of myths, legends and unspeakable evil, demonstrate the full range of his horror writing. From the petrifying open tomb in "Dracula's Guest'" to the mental breakdown depicted in "The Judge's House'" and "Crooken Sands'", these terrifying tales of the uncanny explore the boundaries between life and death, known and unknown, animal and human, dream and reality.Author BiographyAbraham "Bram" Stoker (1847-1912), Irish writer, best known for his vampire novel Dracula(1897).
