One of Stoker's best
Terrific stories from a true master of horror The other seven stories are less noteworthy but eminently readable.Again, there are some cliches to be found among them, but they all "work.""The Squaw" is my least favorite--it is, to some degree, silly n terms of its characters and ending.I should also add that animal lovers such as myself may well be somewhat traumatized by one incident in the story--I certainly was."The Secret of the Growing Gold," "The Gypsy Prophecy" and "The Coming of Abel Behenna" are pretty standard fare."The Burial of the Rats" presents a thrilling, well-thought-out story of danger and escape (as well as a grim portrait of some of society's underbelly)."A Dream of Red Hands" is a sort of moralistic story that puts me in mind of some of Hawthorne's work.Finally, "Crooken Sands" is a good doppelganger tale whose presentation and overall air seem different, if not unique, from the other tales in this book.If you love old Scottish dialogue, you will reap some benefits from this story--for the rest of us, though, it makes for some slightly harder reading (but I think the story would be much less effective without it). All in all, Stoker was a more than capable short story writer, even though he did sometimes stick too closely to the classic form; cliches and predictable plot points do diminish the quality of a few stories but by no means do they seriously hamper the effectiveness of them.It is unfortunate that many people think Stoker wrote Dracula and nothing else.The selections in this book are classic horror stories that only help to grant legitimacy to the genre.
The Replacement Chapter In defense ofthe original publisher's ax to the chapter, the story is much more rapidpaced and has less of the "haunting realness" that rest of"Dracula" has - it is more in the pulp style of Stoker's"Lair of the White Worm". SPOILER >> It adds a littledepth to Jonathan Harker's journey to the castle in the form of aforeshadowing encounter with another vampire. << SPOILER
A very worthy audio classic for horror and classic fans Someof you may prefer reading over listening but don't overlook buying thiscassette. For one thing, it is more fun to listen to these stories thanreading silently, and, probably, reading aloud. Both stories are fairlyeasy to follow, but "The Secret of the Growing Gold" is thehardest. Despite that, I strongly feel that this audio cassette is amust-hear. I recommend this to all fans of classic stories and audio books.
Best short story of horror genre for it's time period |

Yes, Bram Stoker did more than "Dracula" and this comic book proves it
A worthy volume of illustrated adaptations There is plenty of "Dracula," Stoker's number one claim to fame, but there is also enough of his other works to let us know that he wrote more than one novel. "Lair of the White Worm" is a great tale of jolly, haunted England and the monsters that haunt its green and pleasant land.A comic book style tale, with a Victorian flair in style. "Torture Tower" shows the danger of being a loud-mouthed American tourist in Nuremberg.Comic book style. "The Wondrous Child" is illustrated text, with a flight of fancy and a trip to fairy land. "The Funeral Party" is a one-page illustrated text.Excellent dark humor. "Dracula's Voyage" is a scratchy rendition of the first few chapters of "Dracula."Very well done. "The Dracula Gallery" has artists taking a snatch of text as inspiration, then creating a page. "Vampire's Hunter Guide" is acombination of Van Helsing's text and semi-humorous drawings. "The Dualists" is an illustrated text piece of two friends and their passion.By far the most gruesome of the lot. "The Judge's House" is comic book style, a haunted house story. "The Bridal of Death" is adapted from "The Jewel of Seven Stars."A mummy tale.
Especially recommended to the attention of Bram Stoker fans |

Editorial Review Book Description An ingenious reappraisal of a classic text, Dracula's Crypt presents Stoker's novel as a subtly ironic commentary on England's preoccupation with racial purity. Probing psychobiographical, political, and cultural elements of Stoker's background and milieu, Joseph Valente distinguishes Stoker's viewpoint from that of his virulently racist, hypermasculine vampire hunters, showing how the author's dual Anglo-Celtic heritage and uncertain status as an Irish parvenu among London's theatrical elite led him to espouse a progressive racial ideology at odds with the dominant Anglo-Saxon supremacism. In the light of Stoker's experience, the shabby-genteel Count Dracula can be seen as a doppelgänger, an ambiguous figure who is at once the blood-conscious landed aristocrat and the bloodthirsty foreign invader. Stoker also confronts gender ideals and their implications, exposing the "inner vampire" in men like Jonathan Harker who dominate and absorb the women who become their wives. Ultimately, Valente argues, the novel celebrates a feminine heroism, personified by Mina Harker, that upholds an ethos of social connectivity against the prevailing obsession with blood as a vehicle of identity. Revealing a profound and heretofore unrecognized ethical and political message, Dracula's Crypt maintains that the real threat delineated in Dracula is not racial degeneration but the destructive force of racialized anxiety itself. Stoker's novel emerges as a powerful critique of the very anxieties it has previously been taken to express: anxieties concerning the decline of the British empire, the deterioration of Anglo-Saxon culture, and the contamination of the Anglo-Saxon race. "Valente provides the first sustained critical commentary informed by postcolonial and poststructuralist thinking that persuasively addresses the Irish aspects of Dracula. Future critics will have to attend to Valente's rich formulations about the book's pervasive ambiguous doublings." —John Paul Riquelme, editor of Dracula and author of Teller and Tale in Joyce's Fiction "Dracula's Crypt conducts a thorough and persuasive critique of current scholarship on Bram Stoker's `Irishness,' proposes some highly original alternatives, and argues those alternatives in an extremely compelling manner. In addition, in its method the book has implications far beyond the particular text it treats: it offers an important and innovative model for the treatment of other texts and issues. The book will appeal to readers interested in Irish studies, postcolonial studies, Gothic fiction, late Victorian literature and culture, and modernism."— Marjorie Howes, editor of Dracula and author of Yeats's Nations |
