The Collected Supernatural and Weird Fiction of Bram Stoker: Supernatural Fiction
Autor Bram Stokeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 aug 2009
As the creator of Dracula, Bram Stoker needs no introduction-he is as famous as the iconic character he created. However, Stoker did not confine his literary excursions into the macabre to his greatest creation alone, he has left us an entertaining, terrifying and substantial collection of fiction concerned with places, times and creatures of terror. Leonaur has collected together a thrilling assembly of Stoker's strange fiction-contained within five large volumes-so today's readers can enjoy the 'masters' work within one satisfying coordinated collection that no aficionado will want to be absent from his or her library of the bizarre. This is the first volume-available in softcover and hardback with dust wrapper for collectors. It contains, of course, the classic novel, 'Dracula' and three shorter pieces, 'Dracula's Guest,' 'The Squaw' and 'The Burial of the Rats.' Readers unfamiliar with the totality of Stoker's writing are in for a treat-but leave the light on!

Notă biografică
Abraham "Bram" Stoker (8 November 1847- 20 April 1912) was an Irish writer. He supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels, his most famous being the vampire tale Dracula which he published in 1897. Before writing Dracula, Stoker spent eight years researching European folklore and stories of vampires. Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as collection of diary entries, telegrams, and letters from the characters, as well as fictional clippings from the Whitby and London newspapers. Stoker's inspiration for the story was a visit to Slains Castle near Aberdeen. The bleak spot provided an excellent backdrop for his creation.
Dracula has been the basis for countless movies and plays. The first was Nosferatu directed by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau and starring Max Schreck as Count Orlock. Nosferatu was produced while Florence Stoker, Bram Stoker's widow and literary executrix, was still alive. Represented by the attorneys of the British Incorporated Society of Authors, she eventually sued the filmmakers. Her chief legal complaint was that she had been neither asked for permission for the adaptation nor paid any royalty. The case dragged on for some years, with Mrs Stoker demanding the destruction of the negative and all prints of the movie. The suit was finally resolved in the widow's favour in July 1925. Some copies of the movie survived, however, and Nosferatu is now widely regarded as an innovative classic. The most famous movie version of Dracula is the 1931 production starring Bela Lugosi and which spawned several sequels that had little to do with Stoker's novel.
