Summary

Bram Stoker pasó los primeros siete años de su vida recluido en su casa a causa de una enfermedad. Su único entretenimiento eran las oscuras leyendas irlandesas que su madre le contaba. No sería de extrañar que esas crónicas hilvanadas con elementos sobrenaturales generaran el caldo de cultivo que llevó a Stoker a convertirse en uno de los más grandes autores de terror gótico. Durante mucho tiempo se consideró «El invitado de Drácula» un primer capítulo eliminado de Drácula, la obra capital de Stoker, si bien el estudio de las notas del autor a partir de los años setenta desechó esta idea y dio pie a otras teorías. Sea como fuere, la historia, que funciona de manera independiente, vio la luz en 1914, dos años después de la muerte del escritor irlandés, como parte de una recopilación de sus mejores relatos. Reunidas de nuevo en esta edición, estas ocho joyas del género demuestran la maestría de Bram Stoker para desarrollar ficciones escalofriantes que pondrán a prueba los límites de nuestro miedo.

Bram Stoker spent the first seven years of his life confined to his home because of illness. His only entertainment was the dark Irish legends his mother told him. It would not be surprising if these chronicles woven with supernatural elements generated the breeding ground that led Stoker to become one of the greatest authors of Gothic horror. For a long time, "Dracula's Guest" was considered a first chapter removed from Dracula, Stoker's capital work, although the study of the author's notes from the seventies discarded this idea and gave rise to other theories. Be that as it may, the story, which operates independently, saw the light of day in 1914, two years after the death of the Irish writer, as part of a compilation of his best stories. Brought together again in this edition, these eight jewels of the genre demonstrate Bram Stoker's mastery in developing chilling fictions that will test the limits of our fear.
