I've always been a big fan of Bram Stoker's story Dracula, I read it at a very young age and it has been one of my favorites. So I decided to do a little research on Bram Stoker and found that he had written several short stories I was intrigued and decided to give it one of them a shot since I felt that I could really get into Stoker's story. I liked this short story because it felt as if I was reading a deleted chapter from Stoker's book, Dracula. The story revolves a young Englishman who starts his journey in Munich before traveling to Transylvania. He then head to a village which is deemed 'unholy.' He then is stuck out out in unfortunate weather and just continues to be faced with scary, mysterious and unfortunate events. He also comes face to face with elements of the supernatural. I would recommend this short story for people who enjoy stories with supernatural elements, the original Dracula story and people who enjoy rather suspenseful stories.

I really like this story. Classic literature like Stoker's Dracula, or the Sherlock Holmes stories have always been one of my favorite types of stories to read due to their wording and witty dialogue. This story was simply a joy to read.
ReplyDeleteI had utterly forgotten this story. I read it a long time ago when I first read Dracula. I remember actually using a section of the novel as an audition piece for a Musical I was in during high school. Thank you for posting this as it re-kindles my love for Bram Stoker and classicly-written goth-esque literature. Re-reading this short makes me want to re-read the novel and continue to Dr Jeckyll, Frankenstein, Dorian Grey, and the Invisible Man. (and so many more)I miss the level of intellegence that these novels required.
