Synopsis

"The Lady of the Shroud," a tale spun with Bram Stoker's signature blend of mystery and the supernatural, invites readers to the Balkans, where Rupert Saint Leger inherits a vast estate under the condition that he lives there for a year. His new life takes a turn towards the uncanny when he encounters a mysterious woman draped in a shroud, seemingly risen from the dead. As Rupert delves into the mystery, he uncovers a plot that threatens the kingdom itself. Stoker weaves a thrilling narrative of love, bravery, and the spectral, challenging the boundaries between life and death.

About Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker was born November 8, 1847, in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a civil servant, and his mother was a charity worker and writer. Stoker studied math at Trinity College in Dublin and graduated in 1867, after which he became a civil servant. At this time, he also worked as a freelance journalist, a drama critic, and editor of the Evening Mail. In 1876, he met Sir Henry Irving, a famous actor. Stoker accepted a job as personal secretary to Irving and went to England in 1878. Before he left Ireland, he published his first book, The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland. While working for Irving he met an aspiring actress named Florence Balcombe. They married in 1878 and had one son, Noel, who was born in 1879. In England, Stoker also began writing a series of short stories and novels, the first of which was The Snake's Pass. Although best known for Dracula, Stoker wrote eighteen books before he died in 1912.

Goodreads review by Werner on November 18, 2023

This is another book I started reading, as a kid, at somebody else's house and didn't get a chance to finish (long story!).

Goodreads review by Stuart on November 03, 2013

This book is only 234 pages long... and that's about a 100 pages too long. Though some parts are interesting and have Stoker's gift for describing the exotic and the eerie, far too much of the novel focuses on the military and political life of Rupert, the hero, who is as flat a piece of tall, dark......more

Goodreads review by Tim on September 23, 2023

A truly dreadful book in so many ways - theatrical, sentimental, nonsensical, militaristic, imperialist, patronising (to women and to the peoples of the Balkans) and often leaden. Beyond being one for Bram Stoker completists - and the early promise of creepy thrills is nothing but a fraud designed to......more

Goodreads review by Marc on April 24, 2025

Este libro de algo más de quinientas páginas es, como su forma indica, un ladrillo. Un buen ladrillo, es verdad, de los macizos sin agujeros que se empleaban a finales del XIX-principios del XX, pero se mire como se mire, un ladrillo es un ladrillo. La historia no está mal, y ésta se puede dividir en......more
