About this ebook

When Roger Melton passes away, he unexpectedly leaves a substantial fortune to his nephew, Rupert Sent Leger. But Rupert must fulfill one condition if he is to inherit: he must live in his uncle’s castle in the Land of the Blue Mountains for one year. It is here, at Castle Vissarion, that Rupert encounters a mysterious woman cloaked in a wet shroud who is seeking refuge in the middle of the night. Rupert helps the beautiful woman, but she disappears before he can learn much about her. Discovering the identity of this ethereal creature will change Rupert’s life forever.

Presented as a series of letters and diary entries, The Lady of the Shroud was written in much the same fashion as author Bram Stoker’s more famous novel, Dracula, and represents Stoker’s unique and haunting writing style. Due to its unexpected storyline, The Lady of the Shroud has become a favorite within the gothic and horror genre first popularized at the turn of the twentieth century.

    1909. Bram Stoker wrote numerous novels, short stories, essays, and lectures, but Dracula is by far his most famous work. Stoker coined the term undead, and his interpretation of vampire folklore continues to this day to shape the portrayals of legendary monsters. Contents: From The Journal of Occultism; The Will of Roger Melton; Vissarion; The Coming of the Lady; Under the Flagstaff; A Ritual at Midnight; The Pursuit in the Forest; The Empire of the Air; The Flashing of the Handjar; and Balka.

    Don't be fooled by the pulp horror cover, this tale from the pen of Bram Stoker isn't in the same vein as his more famous creation. There isn't much horror involved in this romance set against the background of adventure and mystery.The lack of the creep factor shouldn't put you off. This is an enjoyable story that is full of character and even humour at times.
