  This work is edited and introduced by David Stuart Davies. 'On top of the tomb, seemingly driven through the solid marble - for the structure was composed of a few vast blocks of stone - was a great iron spike or stake. On going to the back I saw, graven in great Russian letters: The Dead Travel Fast' . In this rich collection of thirteen macabre tales, Bram Stoker, creator of the Gothic masterpiece, Dracula , and one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, presents us with a weird and chilling variety of unsettling stories. Stoker's dramatic scenarios, from the opening tale of vampires, Dracula's Guest , which was omitted from the final version of Dracula , will thrill and engage the modern reader. In these pages, you will encounter the devilishly dangerous haunted room in The Judge's House , the fatalistic tragedy in The Burial of the Rats , the terror of revenge from beyond the grave in The Secret of Growing Gold and the surprising twist in the tail in The Gypsy's Prophecy , amongst other strange and frightening episodes. This unique collection of Stoker's short fiction provides a feast for those who like to be unnerved as well as entertained.
