Bram Stoker 3 hr 5 min read

A traveller on Walpurgis Night ignores every warning and wanders alone into a haunted valley, toward a marble tomb where something waits in the snow.

Bram Stoker's posthumous 1914 collection opens with its famous title tale, an excised chapter of 'Dracula', and gathers his other weird and macabre stories. Chilling, atmospheric, essential for horror lovers. Read it for the eerie prelude to the great vampire novel, plus a trove of Stoker's supernatural short fiction.
