Bram Stoker pas? los primeros siete a?os de su vida recluido en su casa a causa de una enfermedad. Su ?nico entretenimiento eran las oscuras leyendas irlandesas que su madre le contaba. No ser?a de extra?ar que esas cr?nicas hilvanadas con elementos sobrenaturales generaran el caldo de cultivo que llev? a Stoker a convertirse en uno de los m?s grandes autores de terror g?tico. Durante mucho tiempo se consider? «El invitado de Dr?cula un primer cap?tulo eliminado de Dr?cula, la obra capital de Stoker, si bien el estudio de las notas del autor a partir de los a?os setenta desech? esta idea y dio pie a otras teor?as. Sea como fuere, la historia, que funciona de manera independiente, vio la luz en 1914, dos a?os despu?s de la muerte del escritor irland?s, como parte de una recopilaci?n de sus mejores relatos. Reunidas de nuevo en esta edici?n, estas ocho joyas del g?nero demuestran la maestr?a de Bram Stoker para desarrollar ficciones escalofriantes que pondr?n a prueba los l?mites de nuestro miedo.
Bram Stoker spent the first seven years of his life confined to his home because of illness. His only entertainment was the dark Irish legends his mother told him. It would not be surprising if these chronicles woven with supernatural elements generated the breeding ground that led Stoker to become one of the greatest authors of Gothic horror. For a long time, “Dracula’s Guest” was considered a first chapter removed from Dracula, Stoker’s capital work, although the study of the author’s notes from the seventies discarded this idea and gave rise to other theories. Be that as it may, the story, which operates independently, saw the light of day in 1914, two years after the death of the Irish writer, as part of a compilation of his best stories. Brought together again in this edition, these eight jewels of the genre demonstrate Bram Stoker’s mastery in developing chilling fictions that will test the limits of our fear.Author: Bram Stoker
