Although Bram Stoker is best known for his world-famous novel Dracula, he also wrote many shorter works on the strange and the macabre. This collection, comprising Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories, a volume of spine-chilling short stories collected and published by Stoker's widow after his death, and The Lair of the White Worm, an intensely intriguing novel of myths, legends and unspeakable evil, demonstrate the full range of his horror writing. From the petrifying open tomb in 'Dracula's Guest' to the mental breakdown depicted in 'The Judge's House' and 'Crooken Sands', these terrifying tales of the uncanny explore the boundaries between life and death, known and unknown, animal and human, dream and reality.

Ok, I don't want to shit on a classic and maybe reading Dracula was fun and interesting back in the day but for me, now, it was so, very, deadfully boring.
The overall story of this book is actually really good, probably 4 stars, maybe even 4.5 stars.
But!
It is sooo. daaaamn. looooooong.
Like, it's just too long, and would have benefited greatly by decreasing it by at least 50 pages. AT LEAST.
So yeah. That knocked off a star or so because it was simply too long.
Otherwise, I really really enjoyed it!
