Peter Haining (ed.) - Shades Of Dracula: The Uncollected Stories Of Bram Stoker (William Kimber, 1982)
ionicus
The Crystal Cup The Chain of Destiny The Castle of the King The Fate of Fenella Vampires in New England Walpurgis Night The Seer Another Dracula At Last In the Valley of the Shadow
The Fate of Fenella is written by Stoker and is one of 24 chapters from a mystery novel written by 24 authors of the day. Fate of Fenella is about 7 1/2 pages long. Vampires in New England reprints an 1896 article from the New York World newspaper which was found among Stoker's personal effects in 1970, this article is 5 pages long, it is uncredited and is not by Stoker, but clearly an early influence on the genesis of Dracula. Walpurgis Night originally appeared in May 1914 The Story-Teller and is the original title for Dracula's Guest. Another Dracula is written by Ralph Milne Farley who claims to have met Stoker on a number of occasions, Farley was smitten with Dracula and claims to have encouraged Stoker to write a sequel which would take Dracula to the United States, of course, Stoker never got around to writing that but Farley did, his story Another Dracula originally appeared in Weird Tales. Farley's story is about 50 pages long.
