Leonaur Ltd The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Bram Stoker 2009 Ed by Bram Stoker
Two famous novels and three short stories to keep you awake after dark! This third volume of Bram Stoker's superb fiction of the macabre holds a bumper crop that will be sure to satisfy all those with a thirst for his blood curdling tales. It contains two novels-perhaps Stokers second most famous tale, the horrifying and sinister, 'The Lair of the White Worm' about a monster of incalculable horror and evil, and the remarkable novel, 'The Jewel of the Seven Stars'-an often neglected classic of the genre. Stoker perhaps suffered from criticism for never having bettered his famous 'Prince of the Vampires' tale. This is unfair, because after all in Dracula he created a work that, perhaps, has become the benchmark by which all fiction of its kind is judged. Not surprisingly its author was more than qualified to mix more of the same toxic literary brew for his audience. These are great stories and this volume is completed by three shorter pieces, 'The Bridal of Death, ' 'At Last, ' and 'The Judges House.' Available as softcover and good quality hardback with dust jacket.
