The bones were still warm; but they were picked clean. They had even eaten their own dead

This spine-chilling collection from Dracula creator Bram Stoker showcases five haunting tales, including the newly discovered 'Gibbet Hill'. From 'Dracula's Guest', thought by many to be the original excised opening of Dracula itself, to the sinister 'The Judge's House,' each gripping story will leave you breathless, perhaps afraid to turn out the lights. Dare you explore the darkness?
