This volume brings together six hair-raising horror stories. In "Dracula's Guest," a bold Englishman gets lost on his way home to Munich and finds himself in the dead of night in a cemetery. The traveler escapes with a fright. This time. His story continues in "Dracula." In the remote "House of the Judge," a student seeks peace for his mathematical research. But instead of tranquility, he finds an old painting, a noose, and a bitter end. "Rat Burial" tells the tale of a young Briton who sets out to explore the garbage districts of Paris. The excursion turns into a nightmare: though devoid of ghosts and vampires, it features a nerve-wracking chase for life and death.
