Miss Betty (1898) is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written
only a year after the publication of Dracula, Miss Betty helped to
establish the Irish master of Gothic horror's reputation as a
leading writer of the early-twentieth century. "Of all the
incidents of her early life none had so great or lasting an effect
on Betty Pole as those that evening in Cheyne Walk on which she had
been accused of breaking the blue china jar." Following an innocent
accident, Betty Pole is berated by her grandfather, who believes
she has broken a priceless heirloom. On this day, Betty first
learns of her strange ability to sense things before they happen,
which proves both a gift and a curse in due time. That night, Betty
learns the truth behind her identity and is named the heiress of
her grandfather's fortune. The next morning, he is found dead. As
Betty gets older, as England passes from one era into the next, she
is forced to hide her ability from the suspicions and intentions of
friends and strangers alike. Miss Betty is a gripping work of
fantasy and historical romance by Bram Stoker, the secretive and
vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history's greatest
villains. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker's Miss Betty is a
classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.
