  Dracula The Lost Manuscript

  Dracula, a Gothic novel by Bram Stoker, published in 1897, is derived from old vampire legends and is the basis for an entire genre of literature and film. Dracula, the archetypal vampire, is depicted in the novel as having been the origin of the many werewolf legends. The willowy count is believed to have been inspired by the 15th-century Vlad the Impaler, and by Sir Henry Irving, an actor for whom Stoker was a personal assistant. One of Dracula's most iconic powers is his ability to turn others into vampires by biting them and thus infecting them with the vampiric disease. Stoker's novel takes the form of an epistolary tale, in which Count Dracula's characteristics, powers are narrated by multiple narrators. Count Dracula is an undead, centuries-old vampire, and Transylvanian nobleman descended from Attila the Hun. He inhabits a decaying castle in the Carpathian Mountains near the Borgo Pass. Dracula is devilishly handsome and charismatic, with a veneer of dark aristocratic charm. Likewise, he possesses supernatural abilities gained through his intimate dealings with the Devil. Dracula does not cast a shadow or reflect in mirrors. He can defy gravity and possesses superhuman agility, able to climb vertical surfaces upside down. In the novel he also has great hypnotic, telepathic and illusionary powers. This is the rare, long lost original 1897 manuscript - published here for the first time.

  "If you also will give up your hopes of heaven, I can remain a woman..." 
  When a down-on-his-luck journalist inherits a mysterious Chelsea house and a modest fortune from his Aunt Dorcas, he thinks he’s escaped the drudgery of Fleet Street forever. But hidden in the attic lies a forgotten painting — one that will change his life, and his afterlife, forever. 
  Behind the ornate curves of an ebony frame, he uncovers a portrait of a woman with mesmerizing eyes and haunting beauty — eyes that seem to follow him, to plead, to command. When he calls out to her, she answers. 
  So begins a ghostly love affair that transcends time and death, shadowed by forbidden knowledge, eternal longing, and a terrible price. As fire consumes the past and future alike, he must decide whether a love from beyond the grave is worth the loss of his soul. 
  The Ebony Frame is a seductive, tragic gothic tale from E. Nesbit, best known for her children’s books but here writing in a darker, more adult register. In this lush new narration by Miguel Khoury, her eerie romance comes alive with devastating intensity. 
  Perfect for fans of supernatural fiction, Victorian ghost stories, and tragic love with an occult twist.
