Dracula

Bram Stoker

Summary

Dracula is an 1897 novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, featuring as its primary antagonist the vampire Count Dracula.
Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of women in Victorian culture, conventional and conservative sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Tomato Sauce - A sadistic priest...

Hanns Heinz Ewers

Hanns Heinz Ewers was born on 3rd November 1871 in Düsseldorf, Germany.

His first published poem was at 17 on the death, after a reign of only 99 days, of the German Emperor Frederick III.

A stint in the German military was cut short after only 44 days because of his myopia. Writing was to be the way forward for him with a book of satiric verse published in 1901. At the same time he co-founded a literary vaudeville troupe that toured central and eastern Europe before censors and expenses forced its closure. An inveterate traveller he was in South America when the Great War enveloped Europe and he relocated to New York.

From here his story darkens. Although by now a successful and admired author he was arrested in the U S in 1918 as a German Agent on the pretext of his travels and a falsified Swiss passport. Interned, he was released in 1921 and returned to Germany. He claimed only to be raising money for the German Red Cross.

His literary fame is decidedly easier to clarify. His novels beginning with ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ in 1910 are dark, they bristle with evil intent and are littered with characters who have a dubious moral compass and yet, along with his short stories, are brazen, brilliant feats of literary narrative.

He also wrote and published plays, fairy tales, opera librettos, critical essays and lectured for many years on ‘The Religion of Satan’ and was one of the first to write scripts for the cinema, which he considered a legitimate art form.

As the Weimar republic began its chaotic death throes Ewers became attracted to the rising Nazi Party. At first he was warmly received despite disagreeing with its anti-semitism (his most famed literary character had a Jewish mistress) and he was even commissioned by Hitler to write a biography of the Nazi martyr Horst Wessel. This together with his own homosexuality culminated with his works being banned in 1934 and his assets and property seized. It took him many years to have the ban lifted. This association rightfully clouds his personal reputation but has meant his literary contributions are also overlooked and neglected.

Hanns Heinz Ewers died of tuberculosis on 12th June 1943 in his Berlin apartment.

The Pit and the Pendulum

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum” is a terrifying classic Gothic horror story of fear, torture, and psychological suspense. Set during the Spanish Inquisition, the tale follows a condemned prisoner as he awakens in darkness and faces a series of nightmarish traps designed to break both body and mind. With its intense atmosphere, claustrophobic dread, and unforgettable imagery, this short story remains one of Poe’s most gripping explorations of terror, survival, and human endurance.
