Books

First edition. 8vo. Original red cloth, upper cover blind-tooled, spine lettered in gilt. Dust-jacket, price 2/- with cancelled 1/3 price sticker to spine. A very good first edition of this collection of Stoker's tales. It is believed that 'Dracula's Guest' is actually the deleted first chapter from the original Dracula manuscript, but it was removed by the publisher's owing to the length of Dracula. In the preface to the present book, Florence Bram Stoker writes, "I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from Dracula. It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work." Some light foxing; cloth slightly worn around spine; jacket with some minor loss to spine ends and upper fore-corner of upper panel, otherwise very good.

Dracula's Guest is a horror short story by Bram Stoker, which was published posthumously in 1914. It is believed to be an excised chapter from the original Dracula manuscript.
