    This is not actually a sequel to Dracula but a collection of short stories by Stoker I ve written a couple of lines about each of them.Dracula s Guest This is part of the original Dracula which was cut to reduce the length It has very little to do with Dracula the character and the book and is a bit of an odd story really That being said they are so very creepy moments in it The Judge s House A haunted house story which is absolutely fantastic It s chilling The Squaw A particularly gruesome stor [...]

    I had never heard of this book before, but when I ran across it and saw who the author was, I snatched it up and started reading What we have here is a series of short stories published by Mrs Stoker after the passing of her husband The stories range from the disturbing supernatural tale of The Judge to the vampiric title tale of Dracula s Guest some versions of this book include the Lair of the White Worm which although it is not one of my favorite of Mr Stoker s Cannon, it is still a very cree [...]

    This is a collection of short stories published by Stoker s wife after his death.Though a prolific writer in his own right, Stoker really only had one commercially successful book, his revered classic Dracula So it s no surprise that the first story in this collection, Dracula s Guest, was also chosen as the anthology s title Note however, that the other stories, while in the horror Gothic tale genre, are not Dracula vampire stories.As is the case with many short story collections, there are sto [...]

    A short story way better than the Dracula novel, sometimes included as a first chapter of Dracula though this was, probably, Stoker s intent, it was also, probably, intended, in fact, for an earlier Dracula version, quite different from the one we know the style is quite different, and the tale stays better on its own as Dracula s first chapter, it makes little sense and it doest not connect well with the rest of the story.

    I must confess that I thought this was a sequel to Dracula It s not Dracula s Guest is a compilation of short horror stories by Bram Stoker published posthumously by his wife It s quite decent and it reminded me of Edgar Allan Poe at times The Judge s House, A Gypsy Prophecy and A Dream of Red Hands are my favourite stories Good for rainy nights.

    A classic indeed Not as good as Dracula Though But I always love a classic one These short horror stories are much much better than the modern ones I have read The writes in the 18th and 19th century were dark and gothic I reckon Reading such books always gives you a quaint feeling A feeling as if you are not holding a classic novel or a book but a relic in your hands.

    Questo libro una raccolta di cinque racconti, di cui solo uno, La casa del giudice, da 4 stelle, mentre tutti gli altri sono da 3, per quanto mi riguarda Si tratta in tutti i casi di racconti pieni di tensione e, spesso, di orrore La Squaw veramente orribile in quello che racconta, se non mi avesse spaventato avrei potuto dargli anche una valutazione pi alta Certo, lo scopo era precisamente spaventare, quindi il racconto riuscito molto bene nel suo intento, ma mi ha raggelato troppo il sangue ne [...]

    I have always loved the book Dracula although there are parts of it that drag In my opinion Bram Stoker was made to write short stories like the ones in Dracula s Guest The first one is a piece that was taken from the original manuscript of Dracula for the time constraints of the novel The others are just pieces from Bram Stoker s mind They are rather macabre but extremely enjoyable if you have a darker side Read this, Edgar Allan Poe, and Ray Bradbury for the best October of your life.

    Once again, some mystery is left open Jonathan has decided to go back to the mountains in Romania discovering that the unholy village there, where count Dracula s Castle lies is forbidden The count in the previous story has left no trace, only tombs were bolted, as they made sure it happened, after they decided to get back What s the story of the school there in the Romanian mountain I need to know

    Wha how Wait, who when Okay, I am confused.Is this a prologue of Dracula or an extended story The narrator surely isn t Jonathan Harker, right image error
    Vaishali
    Creepy imagery, but much ado about nothing A wolf appears three quarters of the way into the story, but this is also a non event The scariest things in this tale are the wind, trees and a lone sepulchre Again, well written, but no goal.
    Amina
    Anything refereing to Dracula freezes the blood in my vains, this wasn t really creepy but when he starts describing the atmosphere in the cemetery and the telegram recieved at the hotel, bad souvenirs from Dracula rose and this alone scared the hell outta me

    Este relato, es igual de misterioso que la novela Dr cula, la verdad la sent un poco confusa, pero con una relectura y viendo un an lisis que hizo alguien en alguna web pude comprenderla bien o lo que esa persona entendi de esta historia y su relaci n con la novela Dr cula.

    3.5 starsOverall, I only really liked two stories from this collection Dracula s Guest and The Gypsy Prophecy.Dracula s Guest 5 starsThis one was actually quite good, and downright creepy Made all the so by the dramatic reading audio I listened to as it had sound effects to add to the atmosphere of the reading and a very good narrator I kind of wish the real Dracula book had been written this way I think I would have enjoyed it a lot than I did Rather than it being in letter journal form, this [...]

    Bram Stoker is one of the best.
    Thomas Strömquist
    When you say Bram Stoker you hear Dracula It is a bit surprising then, that the earlier short stories by Stoker show only little of the defining works superb qualities Far from poor, it is not really whole heartedly recommended either The title story was apparently excised from the novel Dracula It s a great mood setter tale, but does not stand up so well on it s own and considering the length of Dracula , one wonders what was the point in cutting these few pages The rest are older short stories [...]
    Neens Bea
    This book consists of one chapter that was edited out of Dracula, followed by a really rather random collection of short stories with two common denominators they all have something of the mysterious about them, and they are all easily forgettable The title of the book is misleading not only itself, but also in terms of the contents as a whole Dracula doesn t actually feature in the story that lends the book its name although a note is received from him , and Dracula s Guest, i.e Jonathan Harker [...]
    Carolin
    I did enjoy the book in general, some of the stories were even really good to read However, a big part of the book was a little too obvious and trashy And maybe Bram Stoker needs to be a little trashy but thinking about Dracula, I was rather disappointed with these stories The writing style in here is far from his masterpiece I should mention though, that the author unfortunately wasn t able to revise these stories as they could not have been published during his life time.
    Jamie
    Very much a fan of Stoker s Dracula, but The Judge s House aside, I found this collection to be consistently drab flooded with long descriptive passages and sluggish exposition Had the author not been responsible for a book I look upon fondly, I am certain that I would have given up long before the end On reflection, I should have done so regardless.
    Shawn Birss
    Many years ago, I began Dracula, but did not finish it The degree to which I enjoyed this short story, excised from the main text and published posthumously, encourages me to give the full book a second try It is beautiful in language and atmosphere, enough so that I feel I can forgive the simplistic Dracula ex machina conclusion.
    Guguk
    It s only a short story, but the tension w wI never thought thatDracula need a prequel or a sequel before I read this.But this is just fit in perfectly
