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.

The Mystery of the Sea By Bram StokerThe Mystery of the Sea, a mystery novel by Bram Stoker, was originally published in 1902. Stoker is best known for his 1897 novel Dracula, but The Mystery of the Sea contains many of the same compelling elements. It tells the story of an Englishman living in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, who meets and falls in love with an American heiress. She is involved with the intrigues of the Spanish-American War, and a complex plot involving second sight, kidnapping, and secret codes unfolds over the course of the novel. The Mystery of the Sea contains supernatural elements, but is in many respects a political thriller. Stoker draws from personal experience and incorporates historical strands from the Spanish-American War as well as the sixteenth-century conflict between Spain and Elizabethan England, using these events to explore important themes of his time such as national identity and changing concepts of womanhood. Although The Mystery of the Sea received many favorable reviews when it was published (and many of the criticisms it received could be equally well applied to Dracula), it has been significantly overshadowed in scholarship and criticism by Dracula. Bram Stoker was born on November 8, 1847 in Dublin, Ireland. He was brought up in a Protestant middle-class household, and was a sickly child. However, Stoker eventually grew out of his illnesses and attended Trinity College, where he studied science and mathematics. Stoker became a civil service clerk in Dublin for a short time, but was always interested in literature. He wrote short fiction and edited an Irish newspaper, publishing his first story, "The Crystal Cup", in 1872. He also submitted work to a magazine called the Shamrock, based in Dublin. In 1876, while volunteering as a drama critic for the Dublin Evening Mail, met actor Henry Irving. In 1878, Stoker moved to London to serve as manager for Irving's Lyceum Theatre. Stoker was an adept administrator and introduced a number of new practices into the theatre, including numbering seats and advertising a season or selling tickets for shows in advance. Stoker was quite busy while he worked for Irving, and much of his writing had to be done on holidays and in his spare time. However, Stoker's business often proved to be helpful to his writings. Stoker's position at the Lyceum had a direct influence on his novels, particularly in terms of travel and setting. Company tours between 1883 and 1904 took him to America regularly.

This 120 years old version of Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece is a very early anti-fascist piece of literature. Powers of Darkness is also a splendid horror novel twice as long as Stoker's original.

Whenever a fog rolls over the town, the local people say it is the spirit of the terrible king, returned once more to ensure his treasure stays hidden. That same evening, Arthur meets a man known as Black Murdock, a vindictive landowner and usurer who manipulates the poor folk of Carnacliff. Against his own interests, Arthur decides to remain in town to help a man whose land was taken from him by Murdock, only to be swept up in a quest to find the Lost Crown of Gold.

Even with the garlic, the crosses, and the holy water, the Count manages to entrance a fellow lady vampire hunter and bring her to the undead side. An invincible foe Dracula may appear to be, but Van Helsing and his group will stop short not even to death itself until they have conquered the most notorious villain of all time. From Transylvania to England and then back again, this classic 19th century Gothic horror became the cornerstone for the horror genre that boomed in the century to follow.

The novel chronicles the battle between Count Dracula and a small group of people led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing as the former attempts to move to England from Transylvania, where he wreaked havoc for hundreds of years. An epistolary novel, Dracula's narrative unfolds through a series of letters, diary entries, newspaper articles and telegrams.

Dracula, Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic vampire story, needs no introduction - a perennial on syllabuses and screens alike, generations have been enchanted and enthralled by the Count from Transylvania. But few of Dracula's fans have heard of Dracula's Guest, a short story following - it is thought - Jonathan Harker, as he makes his way to Transylvania, and falls prey to Walpurgis Nacht terrors when he stops off in Munich. Unpublished until after Stoker's death, when it was collected in a volume of short stories by his widow Florence, who revealed that Stoker had intended for it to be the opening section of his great work, Dracula's Guest is the missing chapter that will captivate all fans of Stoker's 'dangers from snow and wolves and night'.

When he foolishly leaves his hotel and explores a dense forest, he finds a graveyard with an evil ghost, endures a snowstorm, and has a surprising encounter with a wolf.

Vampir... Voskresshij iz drevnikh legend i skazanij, on stal poistine odnim iz znamenij XIX v., i kem by ni byl legendarnyj Nosferatu, a svoj sled v istorii on ostavil: ego zloveschie stigmaty - dve malenkie, tsveta zapekshejsja krovi tochki - netrudno razgljadet na vsekh zhiznenno vazhnykh arterijakh sovremennoj tsivilizatsii... Izdatelstvo "Enigma" prodolzhaet izdanie tvorcheskogo nasledija irlandskogo pisatelja Brema Stokera i predlagaet vnimaniju chitatelej nikogda ranshe ne perevodivshijsja na russkij jazyk roman "Ledi v savane" (1909), kotoryj vesma paradoksalnym, "obmanyvajuschim gorizont chitatelskogo ozhidanija" obrazom razvivaet temu vampirizma, stol blistatelno nachatuju avtorom v romane "Drakula" (1897). Prostrannyj nauchnyj apparat knigi, narjadu so statjami otechestvennykh filologov, issledujuschikh ne tolko folklornye vlijanija i literaturnye istochniki, vdokhnovivshie B. Stokera na sozdanie vampira, no i maloizvestnye biograficheskie dannye, prolivajuschie svet na slozhnyj genezis sjuzhetnykh linij romana, vkljuchaet v kachestve prilozhenija tschatelno otobrannye fragmenty rabot izvestnykh zarubezhnykh filosofov i literaturovedov, posvjaschennykh okkultnym tendentsijam v pozdneviktorianskoj goticheskoj literature. Redaktsija nadeetsja, chto "Prishestvie vampira", v razlichnykh aspektakh analizirujuschee "vampi-richeskij narrativ" kak v tvorchestve B. Stokera, tak i v proizvedenijakh sovremennykh emu khudozhnikov-prerafaelitov i poetov-simvolistov kontsa XIX v., posluzhit svoeobraznym teoreticheskim mostikom mezhdu "Drakuloj" (Enigma, 2005) i "Ledi v savane". Ibo, kak metko zametil R. Robbins, avtor vstuplenija k anglijskomu izdaniju romana: "Ledi v savane" - eto roman ob urovnjakh interpretatsii, gde nichto ne est to, chem kazhetsja, i gde chitatel, kak i personazhi, postojanno riskuet nepravilno istolkovat situatsiju, v kotoruju avtor pomeschaet nas".
