Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories

Bram Stoker · George Routledge & Sons, London · 1914

Posthumous UK Routledge 1914 is the true first, published two years after Stoker's death at Florence Stoker's instigation. The first American edition did not follow until 1937, from Hillman-Curl, Inc., New York, under the shortened title Dracula's Guest (dropping "and Other Weird Stories"), in publisher's decorated light green cloth stamped in black on front and spine panels, top edge stained, fore-edge untrimmed, approx. 284 pp. Both are collected — the Routledge 1914 as the true first, the Hillman-Curl 1937 as a scarce American first — but the 1937 reprints a 1914 text and must never be described as a first edition without the "American" qualifier.
