Beschreibung

In this masterpiece of Gothic horror, the story of a man doomed to wander for eternity unfolds through an eerie series of macabre encounters. After selling his soul to Satan in exchange for immortality, Melmoth is now doomed to spend eternity preying on the helpless and vulnerable. His only chance at relief is to find someone who will take his place, and so he wanders with the tortured hope of finally knowing peace. In this baroque and darkly humorous novel, Charles Maturin pieces together the story of Melmoth through the eyes of those who have encountered him over the centuries—from a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition to an inmate at a London insane asylum.

    Title: Dracula’s Guest 
    Author: Bram Stoker 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1914 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Number 8 in the Timeless Terrors series 
    Description: 
    Dracula’s Guest by Bram Stoker is a haunting Gothic tale that serves as a chilling prelude to the legendary novel Dracula. First published posthumously in 1914, this short story follows an unnamed Englishman—implied to be Jonathan Harker—who strays from his coach during a journey through the Bavarian countryside on Walpurgis Night. 
    What begins as a simple detour soon descends into an atmosphere of mounting dread, as he encounters desolate graveyards, supernatural portents, and an unseen force that foreshadows the terror awaiting him in Transylvania. 
    Stoker weaves an unsettling blend of folklore, suspense, and atmospheric horror, capturing the eerie allure of the Gothic tradition. This recording, narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, immerses listeners in the tale’s dark landscapes and spectral menace. While the text itself is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
    Prepare to step into a shadowed world of ancient superstition and nocturnal terror—a fitting overture to one of literature’s most enduring vampire myths.

    Moving to the sleepy town of Havens Hallow, Massachusetts, during my senior year hadn't been part of my future plans. Not to mention the ancient house my father bought sits next to the creepiest place imaginable—a graveyard full of battered stone statues. It's a far cry from the upper-middle class neighborhood we left behind. 
     
     
     
    That wasn't the only thing I had to walk away from. My position as the star quarterback of my old team has now been replaced with a not-so-cozy spot on the sideline. With a football scholarship on the line, I can't afford to be benched. But my grades are in the trash and my mood is buried somewhere beneath the soil of my new personal nightmare. 
     
     
     
    I need help, and fast. August Sanders, a classmate in my new school, volunteers to tutor me. As much as my bruised ego hates it, I can't turn down the offer. 
     
     
     
    However, he forgot to mention a pretty important detail that sends shivers through every cell in my body. 
     
     
     
    August isn't a student. Not anymore. He's not even made of flesh and bone. And apparently I'm the only person who's been able to see him in more than three years.
