Complete and unabridged, with 51 full-page plates by Caspar David Friedrich, Arnold Böcklin and Edvard Munch. An Englishman inherits an estate in the Land of the Blue Mountains, on the Adriatic, and a woman in a shroud comes to his window at night, wet from the sea, and will not enter uninvited. Stoker spent twenty-seven years as business manager to Henry Irving, running the Lyceum; this 1909 novel came a dozen years after Dracula, and the explanation he provides for the lady is not the one the reader is enjoying. Fifty-one plates of castles by the sea and castle ruins, from Arnold Böcklin and George Goodwin, keep the Adriatic stronghold and its night visitor in view throughout.
