Under the Sunset

About this book

Under a sunset sky, strange kingdoms and enchanted places take shape. Bram Stoker's early fairy tales move through a world where beauty can conceal cruelty and kindness may arrive from unlikely directions.

The collection reveals a different side of the author best known for Dracula, though its darker imaginative instincts are already visible. Stoker mixes childlike wonder with sharp emotional consequences, refusing to make every magical encounter safe. The stories retain the vivid atmosphere of nineteenth-century fantasy and its fascination with peril at the edge of home.
