Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Famous for
introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the
story of Dracula's attempt to relocate from Transylvania to England, and the
battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor
Abraham Van Helsing, Bram Stoker tells Count Dracula ́s relationship with
Jonathan and Mina Harker, pursuit by Professor van Helsing and ultimate
destruction in the name of love. Intent on immigrating to England, Count
Dracula enlists the services of Jonathan Harker to arrange the purchase of a
suitable residence. Intrigued by the young Harker and his beautiful wife,
Mina, Dracula sets in motion a series of events that threatens the sanity of
all.
Widely believed to be the deleted first chapter of Dracula, “Dracula’s Guest,”
taken from Bram Stoker’s collection of short stories, follows an Englishman,
presumed to be Jonathan Harker, on a visit to Munich en route to Transylvania.
Despite warnings from his hotelier, the Englishman leaves the safety of his
carriage and wanders towards an abandoned “unholy” village. “Dracula’s Guest”
was originally published and introduced as the “excised chapter” in Dracula’s
Guest and Other Weird Stories by Stoker’s widow, Florence.
Dracula's Guest and Other 3 Weird Stories is a collection of short stories by
Bram Stoker, first published in 1914, two years after Stoker's death. The
stories in the collection are: "Dracula's Guest", "The Judge's House", "The
Burial of the Rats", "A Dream of Red Hands" . About Dracula's Guest: this
short novel recounts the travels of an unnamed Englishman who crosses paths
with a foreboding wolf-like creature on his way to Count Dracula's castle. A
young Englishman is restlessly wandering about Munich before traveling to
Transylvania. When he foolishly leaves his hotel and explores a dense forest,
he finds a graveyard with an evil ghost, endures a snowstorm, and has a
surprising encounter with a wolf. This volume also includes the novella "The
Lair of the White Worm," a horror story which revolves around Adam Salton, a
native Australian invited to England by his only surviving relative, Richard
Salton. All seems well until he meets the neighbors and discovers a cruel
mesmerist, an enormous kite, a violent woman with unknown designs, and a
colossal white worm seeking victims near its pit. Fans of "Dracula" will
delight in this fine collection of horror stories by the same author.
