Draculas Guest is a collection of short stories by Bram Stoker. The same collection has been issued under short titles including simply Draculas Guest. Meanwhile collections published under Draculas Guest and longer titles contain different selections of stories. Draculas Guest follows an Englishman (whose name is never mentioned but is presumed to be Jonathan Harker) on a visit to Munich before leaving for Transylvania. It is Walpurgis Night, and in spite of the hoteliers warning to not be late back, the young man later leaves his carriage and wanders toward the direction of an abandoned "unholy" village. As the carriage departs with the frightened and superstitious driver, a tall and thin stranger scares the horses at the crest of a hill. After a few hours, as he reaches a desolate valley, it begins to snow; as a dark storm gathers intensity, the Englishman takes shelter in a grove of cypress and yew trees. The Englishmans location is soon illuminated by moonlight to be a cemetery, and he finds himself before a marble tomb with a large iron stake driven through the roof, the inscription reads: Countess Dolingen of Gratz / in Styria / sought and found death / 1801. Inscribed on the back of the tomb "graven in great Russian letters" is: The dead travel fast. which was an ode to the fable Lenore. The Englishman is disturbed to be in such a place on such a night and as the storm breaks anew, he is forced by pelting hail to shelter in the doorway of the tomb. As he does so, the bronze door of the tomb opens under his weight and a flash of forked lightning shows the interior - and a "beautiful woman with rounded cheeks and red lips, seemingly sleeping on a bier". The force of the following thunder peal throws the Englishman from the doorway (experienced as "being grasped as by the hand of a giant") as another lightning bolt strikes the iron spike, destroying the tomb and the now screaming woman inside.

Bram Stokers The Jewel of Seven Stars is a chilling horror classic filled with supernatural elements and ancient curses.

The novel combines elements of gothic horror and mystery, keeping readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. The intricate plot and well-developed characters make this novel a must-read for fans of classic horror literature. Bram Stoker, best known for his iconic vampire novel Dracula, was inspired to write The Jewel of Seven Stars after his fascination with Egyptian mythology and history. His interest in the supernatural and the unknown shines through in this gripping tale of ancient curses and forbidden knowledge. Stokers meticulous research and attention to detail are evident in the vivid depiction of Egyptian culture and folklore throughout the book. I highly recommend The Jewel of Seven Stars to readers who enjoy atmospheric horror and supernatural mysteries.
