Dracula's Guest by Bram Stoker
I do not always read horror stories because, for me, reading horror stories is like watching horror films. If they are good, you are paying both your time and money to feel horrible. If they are terrible, why bother?
However, there are some authors that could overpass this reluctance. One is Poe, another, Stoker? Maybe. I must admit I read this collection out of sheer curiosity. Nevertheless, I do not feel disappointed after leafing through it. Stoker's writing is clear and fluent, and some stories would make me feel chilling in the back. And well, I particularly like "The Gypsy Prophecy," in which the ambiguity of prophecy is minutely described.
