How 7 Went Mad

First published in 1881, “How 7 Went Mad” is a short story by legendary horror writer Bram Stoker. The tale follows Tineboy, a young boy who is having difficulty learning his multiplication tables and those related to the number seven in particular. One day he falls asleep during class and begins to dream of a story his teacher told him about how the number seven went mad. What ensues is a Tineboy's experiences of a world without the number seven and the problems that inevitably arise from losing a number. Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 – 1912) was an Irish author most famous for his 1897 Gothic novel “Dracula”. Other notable works by this author include: “Miss Betty” (1898), “The Mystery of the Sea” (1902), and “The Jewel of Seven Stars” (1903). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
