About this listen

"Dracula's Guest" is actually the deleted first chapter from the original Dracula manuscript, which the publisher felt was superfluous to the novel. It was later released as a short story.

Editor reviews

This short story was originally part of Stoker's famous Dracula. Removed from that manuscript, "Dracula's Guest" stands alone as a wonderful short story. Haunting and sometimes shiver-inducing, lovers of horror stories and connoisseurs of good prose will adore listening to this audiobook. Walter Zimmerman gives a nuanced performance, ensuring that listeners hear each word and phrase of this short masterpiece of the gothic.
