Beschreibung

Bram Stoker's "Dracula" is a seminal work of Gothic literature that intricately weaves a tale of horror, seduction, and the clash between modernity and ancient evil. Through a unique epistolary format, Stoker employs letters, diary entries, and newspaper clippings to immerse readers in a suspenseful narrative that explores themes of fear, power, and sexuality. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England and Transylvania, the novel paints a vivid portrait of Count Dracula as he traverses through both time and space, challenging societal norms and instilling dread within the hearts of his victims. Stoker's use of atmospheric details and psychological tension cultivates an enduring sense of unease that echoes through generations of literary and popular culture. Bram Stoker was an Irish author and theatre manager whose fascination with folklore and the supernatural informed his creation of "Dracula." Influenced by his encounters with various literary figures and his studies of European history and folklore, Stoker harnessed the zeitgeist of fear surrounding the unknown in the late 19th century. The novel not only reflects his personal experiences but also serves as a commentary on the anxieties of an era grappling with the evolution of science, sexuality, and morality. "Dracula" is a must-read for enthusiasts of Gothic fiction and horror alike. Stoker's masterful storytelling, coupled with profound cultural implications, renders the book a timeless exploration of the human psyche and the fear of the other. Readers are invited to experience a chilling journey that delves into the depths of imagination and terror, solidifying "Dracula" as an indelible cornerstone of literary canon.

    January 1921. Though the Great War is over, in Ireland a new civil war is raging. The once-grand Kilcolgan House, a crumbling bastion shrouded in sea mist, lies half empty and filled with ghosts, both real and imagined, while it shelters the surviving members of the Prendeville family. Then, when an IRA ambush goes terribly wrong, Maud Prendeville, Lord Kilcolgan’s eldest daughter, is killed, leaving the family reeling. Yet the IRA column behind the attack insists they left her alive, that someone else must be responsible for her terrible fate. Captain Tom Harkin, an IRA intelligence officer and Maud's former fiancé, is sent to investigate. He becomes an unwelcome guest in this strange, gloomy household. Working undercover, Harkin must delve into the house's secrets—and discover where, in this fractured, embattled town, allegiances truly lie. But Harkin too is haunted by the ghosts of the past and by his terrible experiences on the battlefields. Can he find the truth about Maud's death before the past—and his strange, unnerving surroundings—overwhelm him?

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
    But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
    Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
