Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories and The Lair of the White Worm Synopsis

Bram Stoker's "e;Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories"e; is a collection of nine short stories which was first published in 1914, shortly after the author's death. Among the most captivating of these tales is "e;Dracula's Guest"e;, which is widely believed to be the first chapter of Stoker's original "e;Dracula"e; manuscript. A young Englishman is restlessly wandering about Munich before traveling to Transylvania. When he foolishly leaves his hotel and explores a dense forest, he finds a graveyard with an evil ghost, endures a snowstorm, and has a surprising encounter with a wolf. This volume also includes the novella "e;The Lair of the White Worm"e;, a horror story which revolves around Adam Salton, a native Australian invited to England by his only surviving relative, Richard Salton. All seems well until he meets the neighbors and discovers a cruel mesmerist, an enormous kite, a violent woman with unknown designs, and a colossal white worm seeking victims near its pit. Fans of "e;Dracula"e; will delight in this fine collection of Stoker's horror stories. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
