Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Tales

Rose Stanley

So this is an interesting hodgepodge - a proto-Dracula short story (the Dracula's Guest of the title), a collection of short stories (my faves were The Squaw, The Judge's House, and The Coming of Abel Behenna), and Stoker's final work - and, incidentally, the whole reason I bought this particular volume - The Lair of the White Worm. 

Of this last story (written in the insanely short time of 3 months) I will say only two things:
1. The plot is Grade A Bonkerdom, can't wait to see what the film adaptation does with it
and
2. If you think Dracula was racist and sexist, then strap in for a wild, n-word-filled ride.
(seriously, the n-word is used so many times)
