Dracula's Guest
Bram Stoker
1914
Introduction
Dracula's Guest
is a short story written by Irish author Bram Stoker. The story was first published in 1914, two years after the author's death, in a collection titled Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories. The collection was published by the author's widow, Florence Stoker, who noted in a preface that prior to his death, her husband had assembled lists of stories for publication in three collections. She went on to make this remark about Dracula's Guest
: To his original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from ‘Dracula.’ It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work.
Thus, according to Florence Stoker, the connection between Dracula's Guest
and Dracula is that the story, which tells of an eerie encounter its narrator has with a wolf-vampire in the forests surrounding Munich, Germany, was originally intended to be the first chapter of the novel. This assertion, however, does not tell the whole story. Stoker made extensive notes and outlines for Dracula, and in those notes, it is clear that his original intent was to begin the novel with a chapter containing legal correspondence among various principals, including Count Dracula. That chapter was never published. Stoker's notes also outline a second chapter set in Munich describing the activities of Jonathan Harker, a lawyer and one of the protagonists of Dracula, who travels to Transylvania, where he encounters Count Dracula and his brides. Some researchers have argued that this material was then incorporated into Dracula's Guest,
which is set in Munich and narrated by a character who may be Jonathan Harker. Other researchers argue that the author intended to publish Dracula's Guest
as a free-standing short story as early as 1890. Whether or not the story was originally to be part of the novel and, if it was, who was responsible for excising remain matters for speculation.
Dracula's Guest
is available in numerous editions, including one from the publishing firm Brandon (1990). Note that many later editions of the collection, including Brandon's, are titled simply Dracula's Guest rather than the full original title. The story is available online at Literature.org: The Online Literature Library at http://literature.org/authors/stoker-bram/draculas-guest/.
