Dracula's Guest

"Dracula's Guest" by Bram Stoker is a short story first published in 1914. An unnamed young Englishman journeys through the Munich countryside on Walpurgis Night, despite ominous warnings. Ignoring his coachman's fears, he ventures toward an abandoned village and encounters a mysterious graveyard, a beautiful woman sleeping in a tomb, and a wolf that is "yet not a wolf." This atmospheric tale shares shadowy connections with Stoker's famous novel, blending supernatural terror with Gothic mystery in the darkening Bavarian landscape.
