Synopsis "Dracula's Guest: And Other Weird Stories (in English)"

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 To his original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from Dracula.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. The other stories have already been published in English and American periodicals. Had my husband lived longer, he might have seen fit 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 fitting and proper to let it go forth practically as it was left by him.

Abraham "Bram" Stoker (Clontarf; 8 de noviembre de 1847-Londres; 20 de abril de 1912) fue un novelista y escritor irlandés, conocido por su novela Drácula.

Sus primeros relatos de terror, como "La Copa de Cristal" (1872), fueron publicados por la London Society, y The Chain of Destiny en la revista Shamrock. En 1876, mientras trabajaba como funcionario, escribió un libro de texto nombrado The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland (1879), este libro se utilizó como referencia durante mucho tiempo.

Siendo crítico del teatro para el Dublin Evening Mail, cuyo copropietario era el célebre escritor de novela gótica Sheridan Le Fanu, uno de los más importantes de su época por relatos como el de Carmilla, sobre una vampiresa, influyeron mucho a Stoker a la hora de escribir Drácula. La crítica de Stoker hacia la obra fue una gran alabanza a la actuación en Hamlet del actor Henry Irving, quien le contrató para ser su secretario particular y gerente del Lyceum Theatre de Londres.

Mientras trabajaba para Irving, fue crítico literario para el Daily Telegraph y escribió varias novelas como The Snake's Pass (1890) y Dracula (1897) y, tras la muerte de Irving en 1905, La dama del sudario (1909) y La guarida del gusano blanco (1911).

Su esposa fue la administradora de su legado literario, y dio a conocer obras como la que sería la introducción de Drácula, el relato corto El invitado de Drácula.
