Miss Betty (1898) is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written only a year after the publication of Dracula, Miss Betty helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror's reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. "Of all the incidents of her early life none had so great or lasting an effect on Betty Pole as those that evening in Cheyne Walk on which she had been accused of breaking the blue china jar." Following an innocent accident, Betty Pole is berated by her grandfather, who believes she has broken a priceless heirloom. On this day, Betty first learns of her strange ability to sense things before they happen, which proves both a gift and a curse in due time. That night, Betty learns the truth behind her identity and is named the heiress of her grandfather's fortune. The next morning, he is found dead. As Betty gets older, as England passes from one era into the next, she is forced to hide her ability from the suspicions and intentions of friends and strangers alike. Miss Betty is a gripping work of fantasy and historical romance by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history's greatest villains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker's Miss Betty is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Draculas Gast (englisch Dracula's Guest) ist eine Kurzgeschichte von Bram Stoker, die in der Ursprungsfassung seines Romans Dracula als Entwurf für das Einleitungskapitel gedient haben könnte. Am 30. April, dem Tag vor der Walpurgisnacht, fährt der unbenannte Protagonist, ein Mann aus England, der im Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten abgestiegen war, in das Münchner Umland. Als er verlangt, eine Abzweigung in Richtung eines entvölkerten Dorfes zu nehmen, lehnt der Kutscher Johann dies vehement ab. Der Protagonist nimmt daraufhin zu Fuß den Weg zu diesem Dorf, kommt jedoch in einen Schneesturm und findet sich, inzwischen nachts, auf einem Friedhof wieder. In einer Grabkammer mit der Inschrift GRÄFIN DOLINGEN ZU GRAZ / IN DER STEIERMARK / SIE SUCHTE DEN TOD UND FAND IHN / 1801 (im Original COUNTESS DOLINGEN OF GRATZ / IN STYRIA / SOUGHT AND FOUND DEATH / 1801) findet er eine schöne tote Frau auf einer Totenbahre. Er wird "wie von der Hand eines Riesen" zurück in den Sturm geschleudert. Ein Blitz zerstört das Grabmal und setzt die tote Frau in Flammen, die im Begriff war, sich zu erheben, worauf der Protagonist einen Ohnmachtsanfall erleidet. Wieder bei Bewusstsein findet er sich in den Klauen

Neil LaBute brings a rich theatricality and his provocative way with language and story to the world of Count Dracula, Van Helsing, Jonathan Harker, and his beloved Mina-this time, with very much a mind of her own-infusing the classic gothic tale of terror, obsession, and pathos with a modern edge. Chilling yet stylish in its atmosphere, dark yet deeply human in its emotional impact, Neil LaBute's DRACULA is a tribute to both LaBute's dramatic vision and the timelessness of Stoker's novel.

The Gates of Life (1905), also published as The Man, is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written at the height of his career, The Gates of Life helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror's reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. Inspired by the archetype of the New Woman-a type of literary character incorporating elements of 19th century feminism-Stoker crafts a novel capable of captivating the reader while critiquing the constraints of class and gender on women and men of the early twentieth century. Following the death of his young wife in childbirth, Squire Stephen Norman promises to raise his daughter as his heir. Naming her Stephen, he encourages her to befriend the local boys and refuses to constrain her in the manner typical for young girls of the time. She grows up alongside Harold, who is taken in by Norman after his father's death from pneumonia. As the story unfolds, a romance develops between Stephen and Leonard, complicating Norman's wish for his daughter to marry Harold. Having promised Norman on his deathbed that he would look after Stephen, Harold is heartbroken when she proposes to Leonard, but he refuses to give up hope. As time and distance drive them apart, they will need more than ancient promises and memories of a shared childhood to unite them once again. The Gates of Life is a gripping work of romance by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history's greatest villains. >With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker's The Gates of Life is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

Written over two decades before Dracula, his masterpiece, The Primrose Path helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror's reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. Inspired by the temperance movement, Stoker crafts a simple narrative about a man brought low through temptation and a lack of opportunity. Originally serialized in The Shamrock, a weekly magazine published in Ireland, The Primrose Path is a largely unrecognized novel that deserves reassessment by readers and academics alike. Jerry O'Sullivan is a good man who wants noting more to provide for his young wife in order to start a family. Looking for work as a theatrical carpenter, he moves from his native Dublin to the sprawling city of London, where he soon finds work and hopes to settle down. After a series of accidents, however, he grows distant from his wife Katey and falls victim to the temptations of alcohol. As he begins to lose control, he grows jealous, loses his job, and begins to harbor dangerous fantasies. Soon, despite his moral upbringing, he risks committing an act too heinous to imagine. The Primrose Path is a gripping work of horror and naturalism by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history's greatest villains.
