Synopsis
A grisly selection of tales from the author of Dracula Werewolves, torture chambers, brutal retributions all of the tales in this volume are marked by Stoker’s fascination with the strange, the mysterious, and the deadly that made him a master of the genre; their readability betrays their origins as conversation pieces in candle-lit dining rooms 100 years ago. The success of Dracula has tended to obscure Bram Stoker’s other works, in particular his short stories. Many of his best stories have remained forgotten in the magazines to which he sold them in his lifetime. A number of these appear in Midnight Tales, under the titles Stoker intended for them rather than those substituted by magazine editors. Also included is the dramatic finale from his 1903 novel, The Jewel of the Seven Stars, which so shocked Edwardian readers that it was later expurgated. Midnight Tales is an important collection that preserves Bram Stoker’s lesser-known legacy.

About the Author
Bram Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847. After graduating from Trinity College he worked in the Irish Civil Service before becoming drama critic for the Dublin Mail. He became business manager of the English actor Sir Henry Irving in 1878 and began thereafter to publish novels and stories, mostly horror fiction, including Dracula. Peter Haining was a celebrated anthologist and the author of more than 60 non-fiction titles.
Review
Peter Haining edits an excellent presentation of Stoker's lesser-known horror classics: tales which display the same talents which elevated Dracula to popular reading levels. From a medieval torture chamber to the rising of a mummy from the dead, this contains numerous satisfying tales. -- Midwest Book Review
