Book excerpt: Bram Stoker's 'The Watter's Mou'' is a thrilling tale that takes place along the Scottish coast, revealing a different side of Stoker compared to what his readers may already be familiar with. The narrative unfolds with the budding romance between a young coast guard officer and his girlfriend, Maggie. The officer has been assigned to resolve the human smuggling issue, which the local fisherman are suspected to be involved in. Maggie's father is among these fishermen. When Maggie confesses to Willy that her father is in the thick of the smuggling business, Willy is plunged head-first into a moral conundrum. Maggie decides to save her father from his fate by sneaking aboard the smuggling ship. But Maggie just might have walked a little too deep into the 'watter's mou''... Stoker is best known for 'Dracula', famously adapated into the legendary screenplay starring Bela Lugosi. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy the works of H.P. Lovecraft, H.G. Wells and Edgar Allan Poe. Abraham "Bram" Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847. Turning to fiction in his later years, Stoker published his first short story 'The Crystal Cup' (1872) in London Society magazine. In the 1880s and 1890s, he published 'Under the Sunset' (1882) and an adventure novel titled 'The Snake’s Pass' (1890). It was the publication of 'Dracula' in 1897 which launched Stoker into literary stardom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While best known for literature's greatest, most popular, and most famous vampire novel, Dracula, Bram Stoker also wrote superlative short stories. Indeed, he was a genius at creating horror within the confines of a short tale. Now readers can sample Stoker's mastery in this treasury of fourteen spine-tingling stories. Not all the selections deal with the ghostly and supernatural, but they are always bizarre, and some—like "The Squaw" and "The Burial of the Rats"—are equal to Poe at his best. In addition to these two masterly tales, the collection includes "The Crystal Cup," "The Chain of Destiny," "The Castle of the King," "The Dualists" (probably Stoker's most horrifying story), "The Judge's House," "The Secret of the Growing Gold," "A Dream of Red Hands," "Crooken Sands," "Dracula's Guest," and three more. Lovers of occult and supernatural fiction will delight in this inexpensive collection of ghost and horror stories, called by Stephen King "absolutely champion short stories."
