Synopsis

Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England, and the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.

Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. The novel touches on themes such as the role of women in Victorian culture, sexual conventions, immigration, colonialism, and post-colonialism. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form, and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television interpretations.

Characters:

• Jonathan Harker: A solicitor sent to do business with Count Dracula; Mina's fiancé and prisoner in Dracula's castle.
• Count Dracula: A Transylvanian noble who bought a house in London and asked Jonathan Harker to come to his castle to do business with him.
• Wilhelmina "Mina" Harker (née Murray): A schoolteacher and Jonathan Harker's fiancée.
• Lucy Westenra: A 19-year-old aristocrat; Mina's best friend; Arthur's fiancée and Dracula's first victim.
• Arthur Holmwood: Lucy's suitor and later fiancé.
• Jack Seward: A doctor; one of Lucy's suitors and a former student of Dr Abraham Van Helsing.
• Abraham Van Helsing: A Dutch professor; Jack Seward's teacher and vampire hunter.
• Quincey Morris: An American cowboy and explorer; and one of Lucy's suitors.
• Renfield: A lawyer whom Dracula turned mad.
• Brides of Dracula: Three siren-like vampire women who serve Dracula. Although they are popularly known as "The Brides of Dracula", the novel never calls them this.

    Trouble is, some of the pieces don't appear to fit. 
     
     
     
    There was much more to Chester's late wife than met the eye; her short life had been a troubled one, filled with frightening oddities—some of which may have had a hand in her untimely death. 
     
     
     
    Perishing under horrifying and mysterious circumstances, Annika's absence casts a long shadow across Chester's life. Hungry for answers in the wake of her death, he starts asking questions better left unasked. 
     
     
     
    How did his beloved meet her end? Why does the smell of her signature perfume begin to turn up everywhere in the weeks after her passing? Who is the shadowed figure that stalks around his home and peers into his windows as the sun sets? Has his wife truly returned from the dead, or is he being haunted by a dark presence from her terrifying past? 
     
     
     
    The deeper Chester digs into Annika's past, the closer he gets to unearthing a true nightmare—a nightmare that had been set in motion long before they'd said, "I do."

    Title: A Watcher by the Dead 
    Author: Ambrose Bierce 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1889 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors #57 
    Description: 
    A Watcher by the Dead is a masterclass in psychological horror — a tense, claustrophobic story that proves fear itself can be deadly. 
    The tale begins with a wager: one man must spend the night alone in a room with a corpse to prove that fear of the dead is mere superstition. At first, the room is silent and still, but as hours stretch on, dread slowly tightens its grip. Every shadow, every creak, every flicker of light becomes a torment, twisting his imagination into terror. The suspense crescendos as the prank meant to test courage takes a horrifying and fatal turn. 
    Bierce’s story relies on atmosphere and the human mind’s susceptibility to fear rather than gore or spectacle. The terror is immediate, intimate, and unforgettable. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Bierce’s chilling tale of dread and fatal curiosity vividly to life. While the text is firmly in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, A Watcher by the Dead reminds us that sometimes the most dangerous thing in a room is not the corpse itself… but the fear it inspires.
