Sinossi

The Complete Novels of Bram Stoker presents an extensive collection of the author's gothic and supernatural fiction, showcasing his unique ability to weave intricate narratives that explore themes of fear, desire, and the mysterious. Stoker's literary style is characterized by atmospheric prose and a meticulous attention to detail, immersing readers in the eerie worlds he creates. This comprehensive anthology includes his most renowned work, "Dracula," alongside lesser-known novels like "The Jewel of Seven Stars" and "The Lady of the Shroud," offering a spectrum of Victorian anxieties regarding sexuality and colonialism, intertwined with elements of horror and the uncanny. Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish author whose fascination with folklore and the macabre played a significant role in shaping his literary voice. His background in theater as a business manager for the famed actor Henry Irving allowed him to hone his storytelling techniques and focus on suspenseful visuals. Stoker's experiences with Victorian society's obsessions and fears undoubtedly informed his explorations of the dark side of human nature and the supernatural in his novels. For readers interested in classic literature that delves into the darkest corners of the human psyche, The Complete Novels of Bram Stoker is an essential addition to any bookshelf. This anthology not only reveals the origins of modern horror but also offers a profound commentary on the social issues of its time. Stoker's vivid storytelling continues to resonate, making this collection a must-read for both horror aficionados and literary scholars alike.

    Small-town Louisiana, 1935. When Eugene was twelve, a girl from town disappeared. Everyone said the gators must have got her when she strayed too near the bayou. No foul play, just a terrible accident. But Eugene can't shake the conviction that Mary Beth's death had something to do with the man who used to haunt her—the man no one else could see. 
     
    Now, nearly two decades later, there are more dangerous things than gators in Chanlarivyè. People are disappearing again, and this time, no one can find the bodies. As the town's unease grows, charismatic fugitive Johnny Walker arrives on the scene, shedding bullet casings and stolen bank notes in his wake. 
     
    He tangles himself up in Eugene's life and awakens memories Eugene thought he had laid to rest years ago. Memories of the mysterious man who followed Eugene into his dreams, and memories of the bayou—and of the horrifying entity that lurks beneath the water's surface, slowly seeping into the town like a stain.
