Summary "Dracula's Guest" by Bram Stoker is a collection of short stories published in the early 20th century. It serves as a postscript to Stoker's renowned novel "Dracula," featuring a previously unpublished chapter and several other tales that explore themes of the supernatural and the macabre. The main story follows an unnamed English protagonist who unwittingly embarks on a chilling adventure, drawing him into the eerie traditions associated with Walpurgis Night. The opening of the book sets the stage for a suspenseful narrative as the protagonist prepares to take a carriage ride from Munich, where he is warned by his driver, Johann, about returning before nightfall due to supernatural dangers tied to Walpurgis Night. Despite Johann's fearful protests against taking a less traveled road, the protagonist insists on exploring a desolate area reputed to be haunted by the restless dead. As he ventures further into isolation, he encounters ominous signs and unsettling occurrences, culminating in a confrontation that evokes classic horror imagery—a graveyard, storms, and a mysterious entombed figure. These elements establish an unsettling atmosphere that hints at the existential horror awaiting the protagonist. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
