<ul><li>As popular and influential as Bram Stoker's classic tale of nocturnal menace is, this 1897 novel did not invent vampire fiction, nor was it alone in feeding the Gothic fantasies of the Victorian period. IDW Publishing presents an expertly selected menu of outstanding vampire stories that either informed or benefited from Bram Stoker's hugely popular creation. These eerie tales of the undead — some 22 in all — form the core cannon of classic vampire literature. Chosen and introduced by celebrated literary scholar and author Leslie S. Klinger (The New Annotated Dracula), with illustrations by an array of noted horror artists, In the Shadow of Dracula brings to adventuresome readers stories of nocturnal terror that have lived in Stoker's shadow for too long. Authors include M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and Bram Stoker himself. Included are what's considered the first true vampire story 1816, as well the classic novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, the first vampire tale with a lesbian theme (it's been adapted to comics and film several times), and "The Family of the Vourdalak" by Aleksei Tolstoy (he's the cousin of the famous one), which gave Boris Karloff one of his greatest roles.</li></ul>

Snuggly Books

Likely the most thorough collection of English-language Decadent poetry to date, 
The World in Violet, edited by Brendan Connell, brings together 175 poems by 73 poets, in a 
tour de force of aesthetical excess. Including the works of well-known figures such as Oscar Wilde and Aleister Crowley, as well as lesser-known geniuses such as May Kendall and Edmund John, the volume is a "must have" for both apprentice and connoisseur alike, exploring the bizarre byways of madness and terror and the fields of forbidden love, where flaming gems sit and flowers of evil grow, and where beauty is to be found in the ripple of the cobra or the depths of sin.

Poetry

During his lifetime the eccentric Count Eric Stenbock published a single collection of short stories, Studies of Death. These seven tales, at once feverish, morbid, and touching, are a key work of English decadence and the Yellow Nineties. This disquieting collection, long out of print, is here presented for the first time in paperback.
