"Lost" Bram Stoker stort story unearthed...

[ReticentRomeo]

It's been a long long time since I posted on here but I thought this BBC article might be of interest here and hopefully the tale, written some seven years before Dracula, might reach a wider audience...

Wow, quite a find! I just ordered a copy. I'm heading to Ireland in a few weeks anyway, so I had it sent to my parents' house.

Thank you for letting us know about this! I went out and ordered it from Ireland. Not sure of the exact specifications or number of pages. It appears soft cover. The story itself with intros and art by Paul McKinley. 18.99 Irish pounds plus 9.50 postage. Proceeds to support the Charlotte Stoker Fund at Rotunda Hospital in Ireland. A real piece of history. Thanks again!

I try never to order from overseas, but this was too neat to resist. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a HC to me by the picture.

That is pretty cool. I'm glad this was shared.

My copy arrived, which is astonishing. The comics I ordered last Tuesday were sent FedEx on Wednesday morning, and are still floating around somewhere, but this seems to have been mailed late last week from Ireland, and arrived today. Amazing.

Anyway, it IS a hardcover, and a handsome little production. Really looking forward to reading the story and all of the ancillary material.

Congrats! This does sound like a neat little item that I'm sure won't be seen stateside too often!

Have you had a chance to read this one? Thought about purchasing a copy just because of the back story.

Hopefully soon.

Saw a picture of this book today on FB. It looks nice.

It was a really nice production for the price. The story itself was fun. Creepy and atmospheric. And the essays about Stoker, the discovery of the story, etc, were all well-done. I'm glad I picked up a copy.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you enjoyed the story and production.
