Dracula's Guest (Brief Encounters) [Stoker, Bram]

Author: Bram Stoker

Dracula's Guest (1914) is a posthumously published collection of short stories by Bram Stoker, edited by his wife, Florence Stoker. The volume expands on the dark, atmospheric world that made Stoker a defining figure of Gothic horror.

The title story follows an English traveler who ignores local warnings and wanders alone into the countryside on Walpurgis Night, a time said to be haunted by supernatural forces. Lost in a storm, he seeks shelter in a deserted cemetery, where he encounters a chilling and mysterious presence. Other stories in the collection similarly explore haunted houses, ominous landscapes, and the consequences of defying superstition.

Featuring nine eerie tales, Dracula's Guest highlights Stoker's mastery of suspense and the supernatural, offering readers a compelling glimpse beyond his most famous work, Dracula.
