Book Overview

by Bram Stoker (Author), Xavier Aldana Reyes (Editor)

I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone with a sort of phosphorescence.

Beyond the genre-defining influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short story form. This new collection of the author's tales represents his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the hallucinatory and dreamlike in 'The Shadow Builder' and 'In the Valley of the Shadow' to the more overtly horrifying in the mini- masterpieces of 'The Judge's House' and 'The Burial of the Rats'.

Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the darkly comic 'Old Hoggen: A Mystery' and the morbid fairy tale 'The Castle of the King' to reflect the full brilliance of the legendary writer.

About Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was born in Dublin. After attending Dublin University, he spent ten years as an Irish civil servant, trying to keep up his writing in his free time. By 1871, he had become the drama critic for the Dublin Mail and had gained experience as a newspaper editor, reporter, and short story writer. In 1878 he became the personal assistant to Sir Henry Irving, the foremost Shakespearean actor of his day, accompanying him on tours and managing Irving's theater. After Irving's death in 1905, Stoker worked on the literary staff of the London Telegraph. Dracula, his most famous work, was published in 1897.
