Bram Stoker’s widow, Florence Stoker, published “Dracula’s Guest” in 1914, two years after the author’s death. According to her introduction to the original volume, this short piece had been intended as an episode in the infamous novel, but was cut from the final version due to the length of the book. Here it is presented as a stand-alone tale—no less terrifying, and all the more mysterious.
