STOKER BRAM DRACULA & DRACULAS GUEST

Dracula: Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers  Kingston University. 'There he lay looking
as if youth had been half-renewed  for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark
iron-grey  the cheeks were fuller  and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath  the mouth was
redder than ever  for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood  which trickled from the corners of
the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep  burning eyes seemed set amongst the
swollen flesh  for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole
awful creature were simply gorged with blood  he lay like a filthy leech  exhausted with his
repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker  one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative 
describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula  a truly iconic and
unsettling tale of vampirism. Dracula's Guest & Other Stories: Edited and Introduced by David
Stuart Davies. The above is followed with a rich collection of Stoker's macabre tales including
Dracula's Guest (which was omitted from the final version of Dracula )  a devilishly dangerous
haunted room in The Judge's House   a fatalistic tragedy in The Burial of the Rats   a terror
of revenge from beyond the grave in The Secret of Growing Gold   and a surprising twist in the
tail in The Gypsy's Prophecy . Other strange and frightening episodes provide a feast of terror
for those readers who like to be unnerved as well as entertained.
