Dracula's guest employs some of the creepy local folk tales and legends. The significance of a blue flame from the ground, the howling of wolves, that sort of thing.

Here, a coachman in a coach drawn by midnight black horses, picks up a traveller. He is growing increasingly freaked out all the time.

If you want to read vintage Stoker, start here - it's often agreed that Dracula's guest is better than the whole novel (though there's disagreement about whether or not he meant it to be part of the original).

Not one for reading alone in a creaky old house... particularly if it has rats.........
