I knew the site of the hut and the hill behind it up which I had rushed, and in the flickering glow the eyes of the rats still shone with a sort of phosphorescence. Beyond the genre-defining influence of Dracula, Bram Stoker was also a master of the short story form. This new collection of the authors tales represents his diverse interests in the macabre and uncanny, ranging from the hallucinatory and dreamlike in The Shadow Builder and In the Valley of the Shadow to the more overtly horrifying in the mini- masterpieces of The Judges House and The Burial of the Rats. Alongside acknowledged classics of the horror short story canon, this new volume also includes obscurities such as the darkly comic Old Hoggen: A Mystery and the morbid fairy tale The Castle of the King to reflect the full brilliance of the legendary writer.
