Dracula's Guest

by Bram Stoker · first published 1914

"Dracula's Guest" is a short story by Bram Stoker, first published in the posthumous 1914 collection Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories. Scholars are divided as to whether the story is the excised first chapter of the novel Dracula, an early draft of a chapter of that novel, or was always intended as a separate story. Although some elements of the story were incorporated into the novel, critics point to differences in style and characterisation between the story and the novel. Critics have also noted similarities with Sheridan Le Fanu's novella Carmilla.
