Lady of the shroud

When Roger Melton passes away, he unexpectedly leaves a substantial fortune to his nephew, Rupert Sent Leger. But Rupert must fulfill one condition if he is to inherit: he must live in his uncle's castle in the Land of the Blue Mountains for one year. It is here, at Castle Vissarion, that Rupert encounters a mysterious woman cloaked in a wet shroud who is seeking refuge in the middle of the night. Rupert helps the beautiful woman, but she disappears before he can learn much about her. Discovering the identity of this ethereal creature will change Rupert's life forever. Presented as a series of letters and diary entries, The Lady of the Shroud was written in much the same fashion as author Bram Stoker's more famous novel, Dracula, and represents Stoker's unique and haunting writing style. Due to its unexpected storyline, The Lady of the Shroud has become a favorite within the gothic and horror genre first popularized at the turn of the twentieth century. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

  • "Focuses on a brawny and very earnest fellow named Rupert St. Leger and his attempts to discover the identity of a young, shroud-clad woman who visits him nightly in his room on the Adriatic estate where he is temporarily staying. St. Leger dubs his visitor "the Lady of the Shroud," and though he fears that she might be a vampire (she is not), he soon falls in love with her and begins a chain of thought and action that suggests the sexual tension and confusion."
  • "Rupert Sent Leger inherits an enormous amount of money on condition that he help the people of the Blue Mountain in the Balkans acquire the independence from the threatening power surrounding them. In his first night in the Castle of Vissarion a beautiful lady in white shroud, soaked to the skin, knocks on his window and asks Rupert to allow her to stay in his room and warm herself. Rupert, though suspecting that she might be a vampire, lets her in, and finds himself attracted to the beauty of the mysterious lady."
  • "The Lady of the Shroud is another vampire story from the man who coined the term "undead." A wealthy heir falls in love with a beautiful woman, though it is unclear whether she is a vampire or not. The story contains Stoker's classic elements, combined with more action-packed scenes."@en
