The Lost Novels of Bram Stoker

By: Bram Stoker

Narrated by: Robin Sachs

Length: 28 hrs and 49 mins

Publisher's Summary

A new compilation of Bram Stoker’s cult vampire novels for the 100th anniversary of his death.

This delightful new compilation of Bram Stoker's cult classics will be sure to satisfy any lover of vampire fiction, from Dracula to Twilight. All three novels were published after Dracula debuted in 1897. They flirt with vampirism, horror, and human folly in the best Gothic tradition - all attempts to duplicate Stoker's only success.

Included in this anthology are:

The Jewel of Seven Stars (1903), a tale about an archaeologist’s dangerous plot to revive Queen Tera, an ancient Egyptian mummy. The book caused a controversy upon publication for what readers called its "gruesome ending". His publisher refused to republish the book until Stoker revised it. The Lost Novels of Bram Stoker includes both the original ending and the lighter, more commercial version.

The Lady of the Shroud (1909), a classic example of early science fiction, although it remains one of his more obscure works. Beginning with a stunning sequence that finds a mysterious lady in a small coffin floating off the coast of a fictional country in the Balkan Peninsula, and beguiling the reader with a beautiful lady in a white shroud who may or may not be undead, this is a not-to-be-missed vampire tale!

The Lair of the White Worm (1911), a camp-horror tale from an acknowledged master of the genre. The great white worm slithers below, seeking its next victim....

An excellent reading of three lesser known Stoker

The first novel, Jewel of the Seven Stars is quite enjoyable for the most part, as is the third, The Laid of the White Worm. The second, The Lady in the Shroud, was a labor to get through. luckily, the reading is quite good.

Racism, sexism, lame scifi.

First story, not bad at all. original ending, though grim, was better. Second story started well as a ghostly adventure, but deteriorated into a way too long and boring rather lame sci fi story with its background the joyful merging of the peoples of the Balkans into a single, heavily armed country. Mainly interesting in contrast to modern history. The third story, which could have been a nice horror story, was ruined by the most virulant and overt racism that I have ever run across in a novel. Makes the racism of some of Twain's characters seem almost warm and fuzzy in comparison. I definitely don't recommend buying this book. It shows the deterioration of what was a fine novelist.

LOVED Dracula. These were impossibly boring.

If you liked Dracula, that doesn't mean you will enjoy these. dull. misogynistic. racist. Narratiom was pretty good, I wonder what he thought of them.
