    Title: Dracula’s Guest 
    Author: Bram Stoker 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1914 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 8 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    Dracula’s Guest by Bram Stoker is a haunting Gothic tale that serves as a chilling prelude to the legendary novel Dracula. First published posthumously in 1914, this short story follows an unnamed Englishman—implied to be Jonathan Harker—who strays from his coach during a journey through the Bavarian countryside on Walpurgis Night. 
    What begins as a simple detour soon descends into an atmosphere of mounting dread, as he encounters desolate graveyards, supernatural portents, and an unseen force that foreshadows the terror awaiting him in Transylvania. 
    Stoker weaves an unsettling blend of folklore, suspense, and atmospheric horror, capturing the eerie allure of the Gothic tradition. This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, immerses listeners in the tale’s dark landscapes and spectral menace. While the text itself is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Prepare to step into a shadowed world of ancient superstition and nocturnal terror—a fitting overture to one of literature’s most enduring vampire myths.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
