тАЬThe Burial of the RatsтАЭ is a 1914 short story by master story-teller Bram Stoker. Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 тАУ 1912) was an Irish author most famous for his 1897 Gothic novel тАЬDraculaтАЭ, a seminal book that continues to influence the vampire genre in print and film to this day. This short, shiver-inducing story is perfect for lovers of the macabre and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Bram Stoker's bone-chilling horror fiction. Other notable works by this author include: тАЬMiss BettyтАЭ (1898), тАЬThe Mystery of the SeaтАЭ (1902), and тАЬThe Jewel of Seven StarsтАЭ (1903). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
