Dracula's Guest and Other Deadly Tales
A chilling collection of Bram Stoker's most haunting short fiction - brought to life with atmospheric illustrations by award-winning artist Eric Shanower. This beautifully crafted edition gathers five of Stoker's darkest tales, showcasing the author's mastery of suspense, gothic mood, and psychological terror beyond Dracula itself.
At the heart of the collection is "Dracula's Guest," the infamous missing chapter from Dracula, following an unnamed traveler into a snow-covered graveyard where the boundary between the living and the dead dissolves. The volume continues with a selection of Stoker's most unsettling works: "The Squaw," a brutal tale of guilt and vengeance; "Gibbet Hill," the recently rediscovered tale steeped in English folklore and dread; "The Judge's House," a classic ghost story of isolation and obsession; and "A Star Trap," a theatrical mystery tinged with the supernatural.
This edition stands apart for its original illustrations by Eric Shanower, whose evocative linework deepens the tension and atmosphere of each story. His artwork adds a modern yet timeless visual dimension that complements Stoker's prose without overshadowing it.
Perfect for readers who love gothic horror, Victorian ghost stories, and beautifully produced small-press editions, Dracula's Guest and Other Deadly Tales offers both a fresh entry point for new readers and a collectible volume for longtime fans of classic horror.
