He also wrote a story called The Dualitists or The Death Doom of the Double Born - which gave me a few sleepless nights. Never in the history of horror has
there been a scene that managed to chill me to my very core more than that one. Very brutal. Indeed though - a master of horror.

Would I get lynched if I said I wasn't mad keen on Stoker? Dracula's a case in point, given how staggeringly dull the two thirds or so of the book
where the eponymn's offstage are. (Though as Allyson says, some of his short fiction is great.)

Other than Dracula, I don't think I've read much of Bram Stoker - maybe Dracula's Guest (if that was a short story).

The first third or so of Dracula is excellent. I also particularly like "Dracula's Guest" and "The Judge's House."

Weren't those just the vulgar fictions of a demented Irishman?
