As if by the irony of fate, there, beside me, was a grim memorial of man’s wickedness and lust for blood─a tombstone by the roadside…
A man escaping the confines of London walks on Gibbet Hill in Surrey, drinking in the lush scenery, taking a breath from his busy life, when from this idyllic landscape emerges something out of place: a tombstone, and beside it three children, striking in their youth, yet with a presence that feels almost as old as the hills themselves.The lost tale of ‘Gibbet Hill’ by Bram Stoker, the world-famous author of Dracula, is published here for the first time in over 130 years.
Accompanied by the extraordinary story of its discovery by Brian Cleary, a piece by Bram Stoker biographer Paul Murray, and prints of artist Paul McKinley’s paintings inspired by the story, this book is a unique memento of a remarkable piece of Irish literary history.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Charlotte Stoker Fund for research on the prevention of acquired deafness in vulnerable newborn babies.
