This Walpurgis Night, explore a little gem from Bram Stoker's universe that is unfortunately often overshadowed by the attention typically accorded to "Dracula": "Dracula's Guest." This tale, published posthumously, was an oddly interesting find and is thought to have actually been the first chapter of the now-famous novel "Dracula." This eery short story takes place in Germany, wherein it chronicles Jonathan Harker's eerie encounter on Walpurgis Night, a night when witches are said to meet. It is a chilling prelude that foreshadows the horrors to come in the main novel. So why not take this opportunity to revisit that eerie tale when the witches wander tonight?
