I picked this book up earlier in the year, thinking that it'd be a perfect October read. So this morning, I've read the first story in this small collection, Dracula's Guest. A great story, that was written before the novel, and wasn't what I expected at all. An eerie gothic feeling throughout with a few moments of genuine shock value. A strong start to this 5 story collection.

The 4th story in this collection is The Squaw. A story of 2 newlyweds and an American visiting a torture museum in German. The death of a kitten in front of its mother then changes the story into a gory revenge thriller. Reminiscent of The Tomb of Legia or The Black Cat with elements of Black Sunday. This collection has focus on animals in each story, with the final being The Burial of the Rats.

The 3rd story in this collection, Gibbet Hill, was again an enjoyable story, but I'd say that this probably isn't one of Stoker's best known or reviewed stories. I'm still glad to have read it, and for its inclusion in this short collection.

Just finished reading The Judge's House. A really enjoyable horror story including rats, and how the human mind can play tricks when left in solitude. Next up, Gibbet Hill.
