Dracula's Guest

Bram Stoker

Dracula's Guest is believed to be the deleted first chapter of Stoker's masterpiece, Dracula, removed because the publisher felt the chapter was unnecessary due to the length of the manuscript. In the preface to the 1914 short story collection Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories, Stoker's widow, Florence Bram Stoker, notes "To his original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from Dracula. It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work." Despite the widow Stoker's prefaced note and supporting evidence, some Stoker scholars, including Elizabeth Miller, do not believe that the story was indeed the deleted chapter. Dracula's Guest tells the story of an unnamed Englishman visiting Munich before departing for Transylvania. Ignoring the warning of his hotelier to return early, the Englishman ventures out to explore an abandoned village. In this village, during a raging storm, he encounters several otherworldly beings and is unsure of the exact events of the night.A Gildan Audio production.

Emma

Jane Austen

Emma is one of the most delightful but also one of the most domineering of Jane Austen’s heroines.  Her attempts at manipulating other people’s lives start in fun and end in hurt feelings and embarrassment for all concerned.  The frothiness of the novel gives way to a deeper moral message, and all ends well – better than Emma could have imagined. Throughout the story Jane Austen loses no opportunity to describe with ironic wittiness the society of Highbury and the conventions of the day.  The many characters are clearly and finely drawn to create a tiny world in which interest is sustained to the final matching of couples for wedding vows.
