Sinopse

In "The Complete Works of Bram Stoker," readers are invited into the expansive literary universe of one of Victorian literature'Äôs most enigmatic figures. This comprehensive collection encapsulates not only Stoker's most renowned work, the iconic horror novel "Dracula," but also his lesser-known short stories, non-fiction, and theatrical works. Through his vivid prose and gothic narrative style, Stoker explores themes of love, mortality, and the supernatural, set against a backdrop of Victorian anxieties about modernity and sexuality. His blending of folklore, myth, and psychological depth marks a significant contribution to the genres of horror and suspense, making him an influential precursor to later 20th-century writers. Born in 1847 in Dublin, Ireland, Bram Stoker'Äôs rich literary output is deeply influenced by his experiences, including a formative friendship with the actor Henry Irving and his engagements with the cultural and political discourses of his time. Stoker'Äôs background in theater and his detailed study of Eastern European folklore provided him with a unique perspective that he deftly weaves through his narratives, enhancing their authenticity and psychological resonance. I highly recommend "The Complete Works of Bram Stoker" for anyone interested in the roots of gothic literature and the complexities of human fear and desire. This collection serves not only as an essential reference for scholars of gothic fiction but also as an engrossing experience for casual readers seeking to delve into the darkly enchanting world crafted by Stoker's masterful storytelling.

    Eric abandons his fiancé, Eleanor, at the Edinburgh Christmas market, following a mysterious woman back to the hotel she owns in the Highlands. Here he meets the men that staff the vacant rooms. Men like him. Men with something to hide… 
    By day, the men carry out their domestic chores in the hotel, cut off from the rest of the world by the snow. At night, they tell horror stories beside the fire, hoping to entertain the woman they serve. They do not ask why there are no guests, why it always snows, why they can't go home. Seeds of doubt begin to plague Eric and, as he delves deeper into the lives of the men at the hotel, secrets are uncovered. 
    The Gingerbread Men mixes Shining-esque mystery with dark fairy-tales, serving up a perfect Highland hotel horror. Joanna Corrance’s nightmarish novel explores the quiet corridors of desire that pull us, and the places occupied by men and women in the tales we’re all familiar with.
