Angličtina
Nosferatu began his reign of stark, silent, chiaroscuro terror over the public consciousness in 1922, when he first crawled onto cinema screens. No glamourous, cultured European vampire like the literary gothic titan whose legend he was trying to usurp. No: he was a thing of blade-like, angled animal talon and fang; hideous by any measure.
Inspired by F. W. Murnau's masterpiece of German Expressionist cinema, supported by Max Schreck's sinister portrayal of Nosferatu - an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula - this book presents a powerful collection of fiction by some of the best voices in contemporary horror. Look inside and be astounded.
Alongside these amazing new stories of Graf Orlok, Nosferatu, you will find an important account by Dacre Stoker, revealing for the first time the damaging impact the illicit breaching of the DRACULA copyright had on the Stoker family, and Dracula Society member Julia Kruk provides a tour of the actual locations - which still stand - where the 1922 classic was filmed.
Nightmare awaits within; as silent as death.
