'I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had
rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone
with a sort of phosphorescence.' Beyond the genre-defining
influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short
story form. This new collection of the author’s tales represents
his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the
hallucinatory and dreamlike in ‘The Shadow Builder’ and ‘In
the Valley of the Shadow’ to the more overtly horrifying in the
mini- masterpieces of ‘The Judge’s House’ and ‘The Burial
of the Rats’. Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short
story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the
darkly comic ‘Old Hoggen: A Mystery’ and the morbid fairy tale
‘The Castle of the King’ to reflect the full brilliance of the
legendary writer.
