The Rivals of Dracula

Bram Stoker's Dracula, still the most famous of all vampire stories, was first published in 1897. But the bloodsucking Count was not the only member of the undead to bare his fangs in the literature of the period. Late Victorian and Edwardian fiction is full of vampires and this anthology of scary stories introduces modern readers to fifteen of them. A travel writer in Sweden unleashes something awful from an ancient mausoleum. A psychic detective battles a vampire that has taken refuge in an Egyptian mummy. A nightmare becomes reality in the tower room of a gloomy country house. The Rivals of Dracula is a collection of classic tales to chill the blood and tingle the spine, including the following stories:
Alice & Claude Askew — 'Aylmer Vance and the Vampire'
EF Benson — 'The Room in the Tower'
Mary Cholmondeley — 'Let Loose'
Ulric Daubeny — 'The Sumach'
Augustus Hare — 'The Vampire of Croglin Grange'

Vernon Lee — 'Marsyas in Flanders'
Richard Marsh — 'The Mask'
