Description

A young Englishman in Bavaria ignores the warnings and rides out on Walpurgis Night. Storm, abandoned crypt, and something in the dark that is neither safely alive nor safely dead press in around him. Stoker’s published prologue to Dracula: folk dread, ancient evil, and the thin veil between life and death, spoken as cold air and isolation you can feel. Gothic short fiction with the heat of the longer novel already in it.

Author

Bram Stoker (1847–1912) wrote Dracula and then had to live in its shadow. An Irishman in London, he kept Irving's theatre running by day and, by night, invented a vampire who travels by timetable and feeds on paperwork as much as blood. The novel is a collage of voices; the monster is organised. Later cinema gave him a look; Stoker gave him a method. Twenty titles sit here, most of them quieter than the one that named a genre.
