Under the Sunset

Mysterious creatures, somber landscapes, wanderings in the afterlife, and macabre suspense. If you think this sounds dark and straight out of a horror movie then you would be right!

'Under the Sunset' is a short story collection by Bram Stoker, whose atmosphere and characters anticipate his more mature works. The sentimental and melodramatic theme of Christian values and compassion run strong, turning the majority of stories into tales of morality. It is a compilation of sad, amazing, and compelling fantasy stories that fans of the author and short fiction will definitely adore. Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish writer, best known for his Gothic horror 'Dracula', whose eponymous character became one of the most well known vampires in popular culture. 'Dracula' has been adapted for the big screen many times with the most famous being from 1992 staring Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman. Stoker's interest in the theatre bought him into the inner circle of London’s high society, where he met and became a close acquaintance of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. Among his other novels are 'The Mystery of the Sea' and 'The Jewel of the Seven Stars', as well as three short story collections and various non-fiction pieces and articles.
