Old Roger Melton has died, leaving behind one of the greatest
fortunes in Europe. His arrogant relative Ernest Melton expects to
be the heir, but much to the family's surprise Roger leaves his
vast estate to his obscure young nephew, Rupert Sent Leger. But
Rupert's newfound wealth comes with strange conditions attached,
one of which is that he must inhabit the old castle of Vissarion in
the remote Balkan nation known as the Land of the Blue Mountains.
Rupert, an intrepid adventurer, agrees and travels to Vissarion
with his Aunt Janet, who possesses the occult power of Second
Sight. But all is not as it seems at Vissarion. Rupert finds
himself visited by a ghostly woman clothed in a burial shroud who
sleeps in a tomb. Haunted by her strange beauty, Rupert wonders
whether she is a phantom, a vampire, or something else entirely. He
is determined to solve this mystery, but the solution is even more
dangerous than he could possibly imagine First published in a now
scarce edition in 1909, "The Lady of the Shroud" is one of Stoker's
most popular supernatural novels and a worthy successor to
"Dracula" (1897). Often reprinted in severely abridged editions,
"The Lady of the Shroud" returns to print in this new edition,
containing the original unabridged text, together with a new
introduction by Sarah E. Maier, annotations, the text of
contemporary reviews, a chronology of Bram Stoker's life and works,
a bibliography, and Stoker's important 1908 article "The Censorship
of Fiction."
