The Library of Essential Writers edition

The Library of Essential Writers series are sturdy hardbacks with beautiful artwork on their covers [there are about 31 books in the series]. This particular edition contains five of Bram Stoker's novels, i.e. Dracula, The Mystery of the Sea, The Jewel of Seven Stars, The Lady of the Shroud and The Lair of the White Worm. Personally, my favorite is the classic Gothic vampire tale, Dracula, and also The Lady of the Shroud. It's a pity that the books in this series are so hard to come by [I've about 10 of them] as they not only encompass famous classics but are beautiful and will enhance any collector's library.

YAY

This item arrived in time, and in perfect condition even though it was advertised as being in "very good" condition rather than New. I was very happy with this seller.

Classic Stoker

This book is a compilation of five of Bram Stoker's best works. It includes Dracula, The Mystery of the Sea, The Jewel of Seven Stars, The Lady of the Shroud, and The Lair of the White Worm. Personally, though I found Dracula to be a fascinating, well-written and intriguing story, I was a little less impressed with some of his other works here, specifically The Mystery of the Sea and The Lair of the White Worm. I found the Lair a bit too fast-paced compared to his usual style and the Mystery too slow. However, The Jewel of Seven Stars is excellent, and The Lady of the Shroud is second only to Dracula itself. For any fan of the supernatural mystery genre, this is a great compilation. Dracula and The Lady of the Shroud by themselves would make this book worth its price.
