Description:

Dracula’s Guest by Bram Stoker is a haunting Gothic tale that serves as a chilling prelude to the legendary novel Dracula. First published posthumously in 1914, this short story follows an unnamed Englishman—implied to be Jonathan Harker—who strays from his coach during a journey through the Bavarian countryside on Walpurgis Night.

What begins as a simple detour soon descends into an atmosphere of mounting dread, as he encounters desolate graveyards, supernatural portents, and an unseen force that foreshadows the terror awaiting him in Transylvania.

Stoker weaves an unsettling blend of folklore, suspense, and atmospheric horror, capturing the eerie allure of the Gothic tradition. This recording, narrated by Jonathan Dunne, immerses listeners in the tale’s dark landscapes and spectral menace. While the text itself is in the public domain, this performance is an original work and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.

Prepare to step into a shadowed world of ancient superstition and nocturnal terror—a fitting overture to one of literature’s most enduring vampire myths.
