Treating collage in a wider sense..........2001-09-21
Collage is an art - or craft - form that is becoming very popular today, permitting as it does a great diversity of materials, treatments and subject matter. This is an ideas book for those who are interested in the craft. The authors treat collage in a wide sense, using paper, fabrics, stone, string, metal, wood and in fact anything handy as backgrounds and media. The ideas can be applied to clothing and to the decoration of the home, and the lively work illustrated - from a variety of artists - is sure to spark off new ideas in the reader. Brian French is an artist; his wife, Ann Butler, an embroiderer, and both are teachers too.
A brilliant introduction to collage and its uses.......1999-10-20
This book explores the different uses that collage can have not only in art but in everyday life- the pictures alone make it a fascinating non-academic work, with ideas to explore in greater depth if wished. Most highly recommended.
An insightful look at collage in art and in everyday life........1997-04-24
Brian French has here expanded on his previous book, 'Principles Of Collage', by coauthoring this book which takes collage ideas into the real world and examines how collage, pattern, shape and space is part of our everyday life. There are great illustrations from art works but also from everyday homes, showing how a little artistic innovation can transform any object or place

Book Description
Menacing tales from one of the masters of horror fiction
Although Bram Stoker is best known for his world-famous novel Dracula, he also wrote many shorter works on the strange and the macabre. Comprised of spine-chilling tales published by Stoker's widow after his death, as well as The Lair of the White Worm, an intensely intriguing novel of myths, legends, and unspeakable evils, this collection demonstrates the full range of Stoker's horror writing.

Free SF Reader.......2007-08-04
A collection of some Stoker's short horror stories.
Dracula's Guest : Dracula's Guest - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : The Judge's House - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : The Squaw - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : The Secret of the Growing Gold - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : The Gipsy Prophecy - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : The Coming of Abel Behenna - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : The Burial of the Rats - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : A Dream of Red Hands - Bram Stoker
Dracula's Guest : Crooken Sands - Bram Stoker
Dracula's guest employs some of the creepy local folk tales and legends. The significance of a blue flame from the ground, the howling of wolves, that sort of thing.
Here, a coachman in a coach drawn by midnight black horses, picks up a traveller. He is growing increasingly freaked out all the time.

Not the most essential.......2002-01-29
As you can no doubt tell from the title, this book contains three of Bram Stoker's works. Personally, I do not think these are three of his best.
Without doubt, the collection would not make sense without "Dracula." It is simply the text and has no notes for the reader. The good thing is that it does have plenty of room on the margins for making notes for your use.
In the late eighties and early nineties, it was hard to get a copy of "The Lair of the White Worm." You can know find it in paperback. After reading it, you will see that it is not exactly like the abysmal movie with Hugh Grant.
Although the movie hinted at vampirism, there is no hint of vampirism here which raises the question, "Why include it in a Dracula Omnibus?" This story brings a sentient monster that has been alive beneath England, a voodoo master, and a mesmerist. Not too bad a combination, but it has the feel of two stories fighting each other. Also, we witness the power of Mimi, but never really get to read much about her.
The final selection, "Dracula's Guest," was published posthumously. I don't recall seeing it in paperback by itself, although there is a hardcover edition available. "Dracula's Guest" is typically part of another selection. This is not a novel, but a collection of stories.
Is this a worthwhile investment? If you like Bram Stoker's work, this is a nice hardcover to put up on the shelf. You have "Dracula" and a couple more works to boot. Aside from an introduction from the editor, there are no frills with this edition.

One of Stoker's best.......2005-12-24
I consider this to be one of Stoker's best books. I would rate it right up there with "Dracula" and "The Jewel of the Seven Stars". The short stories in this collection are great. I especially liked the stories `Dracula's Guest' (which is supposed to be an exercised chapter from Dracula) and `The Judge's House'.
The nine stories in this collection are:
Dracula's Guest
The Judge's House
The Squaw
The Secret of the Growing Gold
A Gipsy Prophecy
The Coming of Abel Behenna
The Burial of the Rats
A Dream of Red Hands
Crooken Sands
If you enjoyed "Dracula" you should definitely read this book.
Terrific stories from a true master of horror.......2001-09-11
Even had Bram Stoker not penned the fabulously successful Dracula, efforts such as the stories in this book would more than qualify him as a gifted, masterful writer, with a special penchant for writing horror. The most prominent story in these pages is of course "Dracula's Guest," a story excised from the final manuscript of Dracula. This is an interesting, well-told tale, but its exclusion from the aforementioned novel seems to me to be rather inconsequential. The real jewel of this collection is "The Judge's House." I have read this story several times over the last decade or so, and I must say that this is my favorite horror story of all time. It somewhat chagrins me to make such a pronouncement, thinking of the masterful tales of Lovecraft, Poe, and King, yet I am compelled to make it. The ending may be somewhat cliched , but the dark, brooding, smothering atmosphere Stoker creates in this house is powerful and brilliant. The Judge's House may well be the most haunted house in literature.
The other seven stories are less noteworthy but eminently readable. Again, there are some cliches to be found among them, but they all "work." "The Squaw" is my least favorite--it is, to some degree, silly n terms of its characters and ending. I should also add that animal lovers such as myself may well be somewhat traumatized by one incident in the story--I certainly was. "The Secret of the Growing Gold," "The Gypsy Prophecy" and "The Coming of Abel Behenna" are pretty standard fare. "The Burial of the Rats" presents a thrilling, well-thought-out story of danger and escape (as well as a grim portrait of some of society's underbelly). "A Dream of Red Hands" is a sort of moralistic story that puts me in mind of some of Hawthorne's work. Finally, "Crooken Sands" is a good doppelganger tale whose presentation and overall air seem different, if not unique, from the other tales in this book. If you love old Scottish dialogue, you will reap some benefits from this story--for the rest of us, though, it makes for some slightly harder reading (but I think the story would be much less effective without it).
All in all, Stoker was a more than capable short story writer, even though he did sometimes stick too closely to the classic form; cliches and predictable plot points do diminish the quality of a few stories but by no means do they seriously hamper the effectiveness of them. It is unfortunate that many people think Stoker wrote Dracula and nothing else. The selections in this book are classic horror stories that only help to grant legitimacy to the genre.
The Replacement Chapter.......2000-08-15
This "short story" was originally part of "Dracula." It was left out at the behest of the publisher and published after Stoker's death by his wife. I've read "Dracula" many times in my life, and enjoy "Dracula's Guest" as a "lost chapter". It is obvious where the account fits into the book because it builds up to the letter from D. to the innkeeper which *is* in the book.
In defense of the original publisher's ax to the chapter, the story is much more rapid paced and has less of the "haunting realness" that rest of "Dracula" has - it is more in the pulp style of Stoker's "Lair of the White Worm".
SPOILER >> It adds a little depth to Jonathan Harker's journey to the castle in the form of a foreshadowing encounter with another vampire.

A very worthy audio classic for horror and classic fans.......2000-04-07
I was amazed when I listened to "Dracula's Guest" and "The Secret of the Growing Gold" on this cassette. I am a fan of classic stories, horror films and Victor Garber, but I had never owned an audio cassette of a classic story until now. While the possibility of "listening" to these stories thrilled me, I was concerned if I would enjoy them. My fears were very quickly laid to rest. Victor Garber is a wonderful stage-trained actor who has a very understated and unforced vocal delivery. So, I can only describe these recordings as "classy". The way he changes his voice with each character is very effective although it is clearly his own all the way through.
Some of you may prefer reading over listening but don't overlook buying this cassette. For one thing, it is more fun to listen to these stories than reading silently, and, probably, reading aloud. Both stories are fairly easy to follow, but "The Secret of the Growing Gold" is the hardest. Despite that, I strongly feel that this audio cassette is a must-hear. I recommend this to all fans of classic stories and audio books.
Best short story of horror genre for it's time period.......1999-09-05
The book lives up to it's title. It's a fantastic read for something of its age. It easily beats off the new-comers to the horror genre. I'd recommend it to people who have at least a little experience with Bram Stoker's "Dracula" or something similar.

Book Description
When we started for our drive the sun was shining brightly on Munich, and the air was full of the joyousness of early summer. Just as we were about to depart, Herr Delbrück (the maître d’hôtel of the Quatre Saisons, where I was staying) came down, bareheaded, to the carriage and, after wishing me a pleasant drive, said to the coachman, still holding his hand on the handle of the carriage door:
