Opening this collection, now in a new paperback edition, is a terrifying encounter with a werewolf, a scene from an early draft of Dracula. Here, too, is The Squaw,"" Bram Stoker's most blood-curdling story, set in a medieval torture chamber. The theatrical world features in ""Death in the Wings,"" a tale of brutal revenge. Also included is the dramatic finale from the 1903 novel The Jewel of the Seven Seas, with its raising of a mummy from the dead, which so shocked Edwardian readers that it was later expurgated. These twelve stories all display the fascination with the strange and the gruesome that made Bram Stoker (1847-1912) a master of the macabre. ""Dracula author goes with the proven in this collection of horror stories.""-Library Journal.
