Bram Stoker horror stories : an anthology of classic tales

Bram Stoker is of course best-known as the creator of Dracula, one of the most iconic horror stories of all time. His horror fiction does not start and end there however – lurking within these pages are some of his most chilling works, from ancient curses to bloodcurdling acts of revenge from beyond the grave and gothic tragedies which Edgar Allan Poe would be proud of. Collected in this fantastic new anthology are stories you may know and love alongside some of his lesser-known, but wonderfully atmospheric tales, which deserve to be read. We have organized the works by theme; arranging them here in a way we hope is both interesting and forms a natural fit – although of course no story has only one layer to it, and several could be argued to fit into more than one category. Therefore at the end of every piece we also offer recommendations for two other stories – not always within the same theme – which you might like to try next. Dublin-born Bram Stoker lived in London, meeting other notable authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Oscar Wilde. Apart from the ground-breaking Dracula Stoker wrote supernatural horror short stories, many of which, including 'The Judge's House' and 'Dracula's Guest', are featured here with extracts from his longer works.
