Description

Rupert Saint Leger inherits a Balkan estate on condition he live there a year, then meets a mysterious woman in a shroud who seems risen from the dead. Love, courage, and a plot against the kingdom braid Stoker’s mix of romance and the spectral. Spoken as when the inheritance comes with a ghost who may still be breathing beside you.

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.
