Unpublished until after Stoker's death, when it was collected in a volume of short stories by his widow Florence, who revealed that Stoker had intended for it to be the opening section of his great work, Dracula's Guest is the missing chapter that will captivate all fans of Stoker's 'dangers from snow and wolves and night'.
Bram Stoker (1847–1912) is best remembered today for Dracula, which is now considered one of the foremost examples of Gothic literature.
