Bram Stoker, página 10 de 36

UNA DESLUMBRANTE ADAPTACIÓN DEL CLÁSICO DE STOKER EN UNA EDICIÓN DE LUJO. En 1897, los lectores quedaron conmocionados con el personaje de Drácula, ser inmortal que se alimentaba de la sangre de sus victimas, transformandolas en criaturas maleficas. Si la novela epistolar de Bram Stoker no creo la figura del vampiro, si que le otorgo su forma moderna, inspirando a varias generaciones de autores posteriores. Mas de cien años despues de la publicacion del relato original, Georges Bess nos presenta en esta adaptacion su obra mas ambiciosa. Una fiel recreacion del libro de Bram Stoker en unas paginas en blanco y negro tan bellas que hielan la sangre y que ofrecemos a nuestros lectores en una espectacular edicion en gran formato.

Te presentamos la obra en su versión íntegra para que puedas viajar a través del mundo de las tinieblas, del misterio de los sueños terribles de nuestra mente, del silencio de la noche. ¡Bienvenido a mi casa! ¡Entre libremente y por su propia voluntad! El conde Dracula desaparece cuando el gallo anuncia con su grito la muerte de la noche. Dracula no es una novela de vampiros mas. Desde su publicacion en 1897, sera la que reuna en su protagonista la esencia del vampirismo. Y lo hara gracias a la maestria de su autor, capaz de entretejer habilmente folclore e historia real para crear un mito fascinante al que ni el teatro ni el cine han sabido o han querido resistirse. Dracula es el vampiro por antonomasia. No porque el cine haya divulgado su imagen hasta la saciedad, sino porque la novela que el irlandes Bram Stoker publico en 1897 significa la culminacion de este genero. El genero de terror.

Antes de convertirse en un vampiro, el conde Drácula era el príncipe Vlad que, al enterarse de la muerte de su amada, vendió su alma al diablo. Cuatro siglos más tarde, Jonathan Harker, un joven abogado que viaja a un castillo perdido en el este de Europa, acaba siendo capturado por el conde Dracula.

Business magnate Roger Melton has passed on, leaving behind one of the grandest fortunes of his time. To the familys astonishment, Roger has bequeathed his vast estate to the black sheep of the family, his young nephew Rupert Sent Leger. But Ruperts inheritance involves the most extraordinary conditions, including one stating that he must reside in the ancient castle of Vissarion in the Land of the Blue Mountains. Rupert travels to Vissarion with his Aunt Janet, who possesses the occult power of Second Sight. But despite all the precautions Rupert is visited by a mysterious woman veiled in a burial shroud. Beguiled by her otherworldly and ethereal beauty, Rupert ponders whether she is a vampire, a ghost, or another sort of mystic creature altogether. Determined to find out for himself, but has no idea of what dangers he has to face. A rare find published in 1909, The Lady of The Shroud ranks among Stokers best known horror novels, overshadowed by Dracula alone. Dracula has been adapted into several noteworthy film adaptations, the best known of which is the 1931 rendition starring Bela Lugosi. The Lady of The Shroud is recommended for Bram Stoker aficionados as well as fans of H.P.Lovecraft, H.G.Wells and Edgar Allan Poe.

"Drink is the greatest enemy that man had on Earth". A tale of tragedy and consumptive violence from the pen of Bram Stoker, The Primrose Path follows the descent of Jerry OSullivan, born and raised in Dublin, as he moves to London in pursuit of a better life. Through drink, misfortune, and growing suspicions of his wifes dishonesty, OSullivan begins to lose himself in a waking nightmare that demands the shedding of blood. If you liked the Netflix hits The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor or Sarah Perreys The Essex Serpent, youll love The Primrose Path. A precursor to Stokers Dracula, The Primrose Path lays the foundations of Gothic horror and grips the reader to the very last drop.

Born from the mists of Irish legend, Bram Stokers The Snakes Pass traces a romance fraught with mystery and peril. Arthur Severn is holidaying in the town of Carnacliff, Ireland, when he meets a peasant girl in the fog and falls in love. But their social standing is not the only thing keeping them apart. The towns money lender, Black Murdock wants to take control of the land where Arthur has been staying and seems obsessed with finding a hidden treasure lost beneath the bog. As legends resurface of the Snake Kings lost crown, the shifting swamp threatens to swallow the house itself and destroy Arthurs hopes of finding the girl again. Drawing on the legend of St Patrick, Stokers thrilling romance creates a brooding world of danger and mystery. His only work set entirely in Ireland, The Snakes Pass is an unmissable classic and rightful precursor to the Gothic horror that is Bram Stokers Dracula.

Cause for international celebrationthe most important and complete edition of Dracula in decades.In his first work since his best-selling The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Leslie S. Klinger returns with this spectacular, lavishly illustrated homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula. With a daring conceit, Klinger accepts Stoker's contention that the Dracula tale is based on historical fact. Traveling through two hundred years of popular culture and myth as well as graveyards and the wilds of Transylvania, Klinger's notes illuminate every aspect of this haunting narrative (including a detailed examination of the original typescript of Dracula, with its shockingly different ending, previously unavailable to scholars). Klinger investigates the many subtexts of the original narrativefrom masochistic, necrophilic, homoerotic, "dentophilic," and even heterosexual implications of the story to its political, economic, feminist, psychological, and historical threads. Employing the superb literary detective skills for which he has become famous, Klinger mines this 1897 classic for nuggets that will surprise even the most die-hard Dracula fans and introduce the vampire-prince to a new generation of readers.
