Dracula's Guest Continuation of the Great Horror Story of the Great Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest and Other Strange Stories, (1914) brought together the best horror stories of Bram Stoker. The collection was published after his death and included three stories previously unpublished: The Gypsy Prophecy, in which a newly married couple visits a gypsy camp with the intention of unmasking his supposed fortune-tellers, The Return of Abel Behenna, which tells us the story of the beautiful Sarah and her peculiar way of choosing between her two suitors, and Dracula's Guest, a text originally written as the first chapter of "Dracula" (1897) and later suppressed by Stoker due to the excessive length of the work. The reader will also find in this volume stories such as The House of the Judge (1891), The Dream of the Red Hands (1894) or the terrifying Burial of the Rats (1878). This volume is completed by four stories collected for the first time by Peter Haining (1980-91): The chain of destiny (1875), The dualists (1887), The seer (1910) and The nuptials of death (1912). It is, therefore, a collection of strange and macabre stories, showing the best facets of Bram Stoker's narrative art, with his singular mastery of weaving emotional and dramatic elements in a growing atmosphere of terror.
