    DRACULA'S GUEST by Bram Stoker  Bram Stoker’s widow, Florence Stoker, published "Dracula’s Guest" in 1914, two years after the author’s death. According to her notes, this scary read was the original preamble to Stoker's iconic story of Count Dracula. Brilliantly and terrifyingly written it is the tickle at the back of your neck that warns of things to come. https://lnkd.in/eQqw3ExD
