DRACULA’S GUEST
by Bram Stoker
PREFACE
A few months before the lamented death of my husband—I might say even
as the shadow of death was over him—he planned three series of short
stories for publication, and the present volume is one of them. To his
original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished
episode from Dracula. It was originally excised owing to the length of the
book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered
my husband’s most remarkable work. e other stories have already been
published in English and American periodicals. Had my husband lived
longer, he might have seen t to revise this work, which is mainly from the
earlier years of his strenuous life. But, as fate has entrusted to me the issuing
of it, I consider it tting and proper to let it go forth practically as it was le
by him.

night it is.’
Johann answered with an emphatic, ‘Ja, mein Herr,’ and, touching his hat,
drove off quickly. When we had cleared the town, I said, aer signalling to
him to stop:
‘Tell me, Johann, what is tonight?
