Dracula: Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism. Dracula's Guest & Other Stories: Edited and Introduced by David Stuart Davies. The above is followed with a rich collection of Stoker's macabre tales including Dracula's Guest (which was omitted from the final version of Dracula); a devilishly dangerous haunted room in The Judge's House; a fatalistic tragedy in The Burial of the Rats; a terror of revenge from beyond the grave in The Secret of Growing Gold, and a surprising twist in the tail in The Gypsy's Prophecy. Other strange and frightening episodes provide a feast of terror for those readers who like to be unnerved as well as entertained.

Acclaimed poet and playwright Liz Lochheads Dracula stays refreshingly close to Bram Stokers classic novel.Asked to adapt it by the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, she immersed herself in the book. After a sleepless night, she writes in the Introduction, my hair was standing on end, what with the mad Renfield in his lunatic asylum eating flies and playing John the Baptist to his coming master and with Lucys description of her "dream" of flying with the red-eyed one above the lighthouse at Whitby, and Jonathans "dream" of the three Vampire Brides advances upon him and of their being repelled at the last minute by the furious DraculaThis was before Id even got to the abducted children or "the loving hand" of Lucys fiance staking her through the heart or that shocking rape-like bit where, with Minas newly-wed husband Jonathan asleep in a flushed stupor by her side, Dracula, at her throat, takes his fill of her lifes-bloodStill, what really attracted me to the story was Rule One for becoming a vampire-victim: "First of all you have to invite him in."Liz Lochheads stage adaptation of Dracula was first performed at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in 1985.Ideal for schools and drama groups, this Dracula is all the more chilling for the respect it shows for Stokers original nightmare creation.

...3 May. Bistritz.--Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late. Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through the streets. I feared to go very far from the station, as we had arrived late and would start as near the correct time as possible.

"Famous Impostors" was Bram Stokers fifth and final book of nonfiction, first published in the UK in 1910.Aliases. Fraudsters. Confidence tricksters. People pretending to be what they are not, for financial, political or personal gain. Fiction is filled with them to entertain us; but would not be anywhere near as believable if such people had not, in reality, existed since time immemorial. In "Famous Impostors", the great Bram Stoker (author of "Dracula") throws light on just a few such people, who have tricked their way into the annals of history.
