"The dead travel fast."
Originally excised from the manuscript of his immortal vampire masterpiece, Bram Stoker's title story plunges an unwitting English traveler into the freezing, snow-swept wilderness of Bavaria on Walpurgis Night. Ignoring the desperate warnings of his terrified coachman, the arrogant wanderer finds himself trapped inside an abandoned, desecrated graveyard. As a fierce blizzard descends, he must survive the unholy horrors that stir within a shattered marble tomb-and the massive, glowing-eyed guardian lurking in the shadows.
But the terror does not end there. This essential volume features a curated selection of Stoker's most brilliant supernatural short fiction. Journey to the accursed, rat-infested isolation of The Judge's House, witness the excruciating horrors of a medieval torture chamber in The Squaw, and unravel the eerie vengeance woven into The Secret of the Growing Gold. Each story masterfully escalates the dread, proving Stoker's unparalleled command of the macabre.
