'Deliciously chilly' - Guardian 'Humming with suppressed hysteria
and madness' - The Times 'Wonderfully evocative' - Heat Hare House
is not its real name, of course. I have, if you will forgive me,
kept names to a minimum here, for reasons that will become
understandable . . . In the first brisk days of autumn, a woman
arrives in Scotland having left her job at an all-girls school in
London in mysterious circumstances. Moving into a cottage on the
remote estate of Hare House, she begins to explore her new home.
But among the tiny roads, wild moorland, and scattered houses,
something more sinister lurks: local tales of witchcraft, clay
figures and young men sent mad. Striking up a friendship with her
landlord and his younger sister, she begins to suspect that all
might not be quite as it seems at Hare House. And as autumn turns
to winter, and a heavy snowfall traps the inhabitants of the estate
within its walls, tensions rise to fever pitch. Sally Hinchcliffe's
Hare House is a modern-day witch story, perfect for fans of Pine
and The Loney. 'A beautiful, slow burn of a novel, eerie and
shimmering in equal measure' - Mary Paulson-Ellis

Fledgling English lawyer Jonathan Harker treks into the Carpathian
Mountains to complete a real estate transaction—despite the frightening
warnings of the horrible dangers that await him. Harker's client is the
ancient Count Dracula, who lives in a sumptuously furnished castle—one
strangely devoid of mirrors. Harker soon realizes that the Count's
interest in London is more than idle curiosity and is woefully
unprepared for the Count's obsession with Harker's fiancée, Mina...
Literary history and meaning: Dracula, by Bram Stoker, was first
published in 1897. This Gothic horror novel is told through a series of
letters, diary entries, and newspaper clippings, and it follows the
story of Count Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England
to spread the undead curse. The novel is renowned for its chilling
atmosphere, intricate plot, and iconic depiction of the vampire Count
Dracula. Dracula is not only a classic work of horror literature but
also a cultural phenomenon that has inspired countless adaptations in
various media, from film and television to literature and theater. Its
enduring relevance lies in its exploration of themes such as the battle
between good and evil, the fear of the unknown, and the human
fascination with mortality and immortality. Dracula continues to
captivate audiences and remains a cornerstone of vampire mythology in
popular culture.
