What if the silence of an empty house was the voice of something that never left?

In this gripping gothic horror tale by Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, a young scholar rents an isolated old mansion to prepare for his final exams. But what begins as a rational pursuit of peace quickly descends into supernatural terror.

The house-abandoned for decades and steeped in sinister legend-once belonged to a merciless judge infamous for his cruelty. Though the town fears the place, the student scoffs at superstition. That is, until each night becomes more unsettling, each shadow more watchful, and a malevolent presence makes itself known.

This modern translation revives Stoker's eerie masterpiece for today's audience with clarity and force, preserving the atmosphere, suspense, and psychological horror that made it a classic.
