Bram Stoker
1) Dracula
The Jewel of Seven Stars is a horror, written by Dracula's Bram Stoker. Archeologists and grave robbers have become complacent about the warning written on the entranceway to the tomb of Queen Terra, an ancient Egyptian mummy. But everyone who manages to touch the coveted Jewel of Seven Stars, clutched in her hands, dies a mysterious death—with strangle marks around their necks.
Some literary historians believe that Dracula's Guest is an excerpt excised from the original manuscript of Bram Stoker's masterpiece Dracula by an overzealous editor. This short novel recounts the travels of an unnamed Englishman who crosses paths with a foreboding wolf-like creature on his way to Count Dracula's castle. The story is currently being developed into a television series that is slated to air on the CW network in 2010.
...The Lady of the Shroud is another vampire story from the man who coined the term "undead." A wealthy heir falls in love with a beautiful woman, though it is unclear whether she is a vampire or not. The story contains Stoker's classic elements, combined with more action-packed scenes.
5) The Man
Think straight-up horror was Bram Stoker's only gig? Think again. In The Man, the renowned author of Dracula delves into lush Gothic romance. This tale brings the mystery and intrigue that still delights readers of Dracula into the realm of romance, and will disappoint neither Stoker enthusiasts nor fans of the romantic genre.
In the years following the success of his 1897 novel Dracula, Bram Stoker took on an even more ambitious creative feat: combining mystery, romance, adventure, Gothic atmosphere, and supernatural elements in one gripping tale. The end result of this process of experimentation was The Mystery of the Sea. If you're a fan of Stoker's fiction or a sucker for classic action-adventure, add this to your must-read list.
Classic Vampire tales read by Richard Pasco, whose expert reading ability is combined with a rich and sonorous voice, a former leading member of the Old Vic and The Royal Shakespeare Company.
