Sinopse

In "The Complete Works of Bram Stoker," readers are invited into the expansive literary universe of one of Victorian literature'Äôs most enigmatic figures. This comprehensive collection encapsulates not only Stoker's most renowned work, the iconic horror novel "Dracula," but also his lesser-known short stories, non-fiction, and theatrical works. Through his vivid prose and gothic narrative style, Stoker explores themes of love, mortality, and the supernatural, set against a backdrop of Victorian anxieties about modernity and sexuality. His blending of folklore, myth, and psychological depth marks a significant contribution to the genres of horror and suspense, making him an influential precursor to later 20th-century writers. Born in 1847 in Dublin, Ireland, Bram Stoker'Äôs rich literary output is deeply influenced by his experiences, including a formative friendship with the actor Henry Irving and his engagements with the cultural and political discourses of his time. Stoker'Äôs background in theater and his detailed study of Eastern European folklore provided him with a unique perspective that he deftly weaves through his narratives, enhancing their authenticity and psychological resonance. I highly recommend "The Complete Works of Bram Stoker" for anyone interested in the roots of gothic literature and the complexities of human fear and desire. This collection serves not only as an essential reference for scholars of gothic fiction but also as an engrossing experience for casual readers seeking to delve into the darkly enchanting world crafted by Stoker's masterful storytelling.

    A short story from the British Library Tales of the Weird collection Evil Roots. Known for his nautical themes, William Hope Hodgson begins this story with a small rowing boat in distress and its sailor regaling a tragic tale. This story differs from many in the Botanical Gothic genre in that it features sinister fungi, as opposed to the traditional vines, flowers or trees.

    The final horror masterpiece from the author of Dracula.   At the bottom of a hidden well, a green light gleams. In the sky, a kite drives a man to madness. An unsuspecting traveler seeks to connect with long lost family.    All the while, the White Worm lurks… waiting, watching, hunting.   From Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and published only a year before his death, The Lair of the White Worm was heavily abridged and republished in 1925, leaving readers and critics alike dissatisfied and disappointed. Return now to the original, restored version of the text and explore the world of mesmerism and mystery as Bram Stoker intended.    Includes a new foreword by award-winning author Fran Wilde.

    In the vein of John MacDonald's Cape Fear, Ahlborn takes the classic stalker tale and updates it for the modern era. 
     
     
     
    The house sits stoic and slightly askew off the coast of Raven's Head. Its off-kilter windows are both charming and disorienting, its walls of overstuffed bookshelves both comforting and claustrophobic. When Leo and Lark Parrish arrive at their vacation home with their parents, their mother's idea of a quintessential Maine getaway seems like both a blessing and a curse. Lark—a novice novelist—can't wait to find inspiration at the end of a fog-entombed pier. And while being trapped in a house with no means of escape is the last thing Leo would consider a good time—especially with parents on the precipice of divorce—he can't help but wonder if maybe the change of scenery will help him shake off the chains of sadness brought on by the death of his closest friend. 
     
     
     
    But what starts off as a relatively benign family trip quickly turns menacing. Leo finds himself face-to-face with what feels like his best friend reaching out from beyond the grave, and only hours after they arrive, Lark begins to receive sinister texts. And then they both see it: someone lurking in the shadows of their rental home. Someone who has been expecting them despite the Parrishes being a thousand miles from home.
