    Dracula's Guest: Classic Tales Edition

    About this audiobook

    This story coincides with April 30, or May Day’s Eve, when it was held that witches met on the Brocken mountain and kept communion with the Devil. It is named after St. Walburga, and English nun who helped convert Germans to Christianity in the 8th century. Her feast day coincides with an ancient pagan festival, whose rites were intended to give protection against witchcraft.

    Stoker originally wrote this story to be included in his novel, Dracula, but the editor struck it from the original work. Dracula’s Guest was published posthumously, being the title of a collection of short stories of similar gothic horror.

      I thought this collection was just okay. I enjoyed the story The Judge's House the most. A good rat story is always fun.
      I was a bit disappointed in this collection. I'm a big fan of Dracula and I guess I just expected more.

      My favorite was Dracula's Guest
      You just can't compete with the aristocratic vampire.

      I found some short stories more interesting than others.
      They had elements of the supernatural , physical terror and always an unsettling
      aura.
      Since Bram Stoker wrote a number of novels and many short stories, I'll search for more.

      An excellent anthology by the Master himself. From the title story through The Signalman to Crooken Sands - all are the classic, chilling tales recognizable as Bram Stokers'.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. For its time it had some very interesting ideas and was easy to read
