Review: Dracula's Guest and Other Tales of Horror by Bram Stoker

Synopsis: This collection of original tales by Bram Stoker, is divided into two sections: Tales of Horror and Suspense and Under the Sunset. The first section is the classic gothic tales, full of dark shadows, supernatural events, and evil deed. The second section is more - metaphorical, full of moralistic tales set in a magic make-believe land.

Review: This is a collection of stories written by Bram Stoker, published throughout his life. It is divided into two sections. The First is a collection of assorted stories, the Second all center on a particular land and have a more fairy tale quality.

First Section: Best tales include The Judge's House, The Coming of Abel Behenna, and The Burial of the Rats.

Second Section: The only take worth reading was the Invisible Giant. The rest were sacarine, moralist, preachy tales full of nonsense.
