Although Bram Stoker is best known for his world-famous novel Dracula, he also wrote many shorter works on the strange and the macabre. This collection, comprising Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories, a volume of spine-chilling short stories collected and published by Stoker's widow after his death, and The Lair of the White Worm, an intensely intriguing novel of myths, legends and unspeakable evil, demonstrate the full range of his horror writing. From the petrifying open tomb in 'Dracula's Guest' to the mental breakdown depicted in 'The Judge's House' and 'Crooken Sands', these terrifying tales of the uncanny explore the boundaries between life and death, known and unknown, animal and human, dream and reality. Bram Stoker (8 November 1847 - 20 April 1912) was an Irish novelist and short story writer, best known today for his 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. During his lifetime, he was better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre in London, which Irving owned. Bram Stoker died at No 26 St George's Square in 1912. He was cremated and his ashes placed in a display urn at Golders Green Crematorium. His son, Noel Stoker's ashes were added to that urn.

　　布莱姆·斯托克（Bram Stoker 1847-1912）爱尔兰作家，出生于都柏林近郊的克朗塔夫。幼时体弱多病的布莱姆经常听母亲讲鬼故事和传奇故事，受此影响，他一直梦想成为一名作家，但却屈从于父亲的期望，成为了都柏林的一名公务员。从政期间，他坚持写作，创作有《爱尔兰即决法庭办事员的职责》《水晶杯》《命运的枷锁》等小说作品。他以自己对文学的执着获聘了都柏林《晚间邮报》的名誉戏剧评论家，之后成为了《爱尔兰回声》的编辑。
　　1878年，著名戏剧演员亨利·欧文为斯托克提供了一份在伦敦莱森戏院做演员经理人的工作。斯托克立即辞去了公务员的工作，开始了自己的新生活。尽管身负重任，他还是设法挤出了时间来写小说，于1897年出版了传世经典《吸血鬼伯爵德古拉》，受到社会各界一致好评。并因《吸血鬼伯爵德古拉》而享有“吸血鬼之父”的称号。
　　其后，斯托克创作了多部短篇小说、长篇小说及小品文，但他的名字始终与《德古拉》联系得最紧密。这位热爱写作的人从未放弃过他所钟情的事业，直至1912年逝世。 Dracula's guest
