It is 1868, and a 21-year-old Bram Stoker has locked himself inside an abbey's tower to confront a vile and ungodly beast. He is armed with mirrors and crucifixes and holy water and a gun - and is kept company by a bottle of plum brandy.

Desperate to leave a record of what he has witnessed, the young man scribbles out the events that brought him to this point - and tells an extraordinary tale of childhood illness, a mysterious nanny, and stories once thought to be fables now proved to be true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat readers are saying:***** 'Gripping . . . has you clinging to the pages white-knuckled' ***** 'This book oozed atmosphere . . .
