It\u2019s always exciting when a collector finds a previously unknown work. Just in time for Halloween, a long-lost story by no other than Dracula<\/em> author Bram Stoker has been rediscovered.<\/p>\n

Last year, amateur historian and longtime Stoker fan Brian Cleary visited the National Library of Ireland\u00a0in Stoker\u2019s native Dublin, Ireland, and found a story called \u201cGibbet Hill\u201d in the newspaper archives. The story was attributed to Bram Stoker, but Cleary didn\u2019t recognize it\u2014and couldn\u2019t find any reference to it in Stoker’s bibliographies. He contacted the library\u2019s director and Stoker experts to verify his discovery. Paul Murray, author of the 2004 biography From the Shadow of Dracula: A Life of Bram Stoker,<\/em> confirmed that this was, in fact, a lost story by the iconic writer.<\/p>\n

The story is about a traveler to the titular Gibbet Hill in Surrey, England, who encounters such strange sights as a group of children performing a ritual by a grave and the ghosts of three men hanged for a sailor\u2019s murder. Murray calls it \u201ca classic Stoker story,\u201d<\/a> featuring \u201cThe struggle between good and evil, evil which crops up in exotic and unexplained ways.\u201d These themes are part of the lasting appeal<\/a> of Stoker\u2019s 1897 novel Dracula<\/em><\/a> and the plethora of vampire stories and especially horror movies<\/a> it inspired<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cleary uncovered the Story in a Christmas supplement of the Dublin edition of the Daily Mail newspaper from 1890, and it has remained unread and undocumented for over 130 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cGibbet Hill\u201d was originally published in the Dublin Daily Express<\/em> newspaper in December 1890. After Cleary\u2019s discovery, it is being published again, for the first time in over 130 years, by the Rotunda Foundation<\/a> of the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin. The Bram Stoker Festival<\/a> celebrated the story\u2019s reappearance with a recent public reading, along with an exhibit by artist Paul McKinley inspired by it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
