Summary:

Dracula's Guest" follows an Englishman (whose name is never mentioned, but is presumed to be Jonathan Harker) on a visit to Munich before leaving for Transylvania. It is Walpurgis Night. Apparently, Walpurgis Night is believed to be a time when witches are active and spirits leave their graves to haunt the living. And in spite of the hotelier's warning to not to travelon thatnight, the young man later leaves his carriage and wanders toward the direction of an abandoned "unholy" village. As the carriage departs with the frightened and superstitious driver. A tall and thin stranger scares the horses at the crest of a hill.

After a few hours, as he reaches a desolate or deserted valley, it begins to snow; as a dark storm gathers intensity, the Englishman takes shelter in a grove of cypress and yew trees. The Englishman's location is soon illuminated by moonlight to be a cemetery, and he finds himself before a marble tomb with a large iron stake driven through the roof, the inscription reads: "Countess Dolingen of Gratz / in Styria / sought and found death / 1801" . The Englishman is disturbed to be in such a place on such a night and as the storm breaks anew, he is forced by pelting hail to shelter in the doorway of the tomb. As he does so, the bronze door of the tomb opens under his weight and a flash of forked lightning shows the interior, revealing a "beautiful woman with rounded cheeks and red lips, seemingly sleeping on a bier". The force of the following thunder peal throws the Englishman from the doorway. As another lightning bolt strikes the iron spike, destroying the tomb and the now screaming woman inside.

Meanwhile, the English man was unconscious. As he slowly comes back to consciousness, he begins to sense something heavy on his chest and a rough but warm feeling on his throat.The Englishman summons courage to peek through his eyelashes and discovers a gigantic wolf with flaming eyes is standing upon him. Apparently the wolf is attempting to keep him warm and alive amidst the snow, but its fiery eyes and unnatural size fill him with horror.

Soon military horsemen arrives to rescue the English man. They chased the wolf with torches and rifles. Englishman said that animal is "a wolf. But the horsemen reported that it's not a wolf". They also note that blood stains on the ruined tomb, yet the Englishman's neck is unbloodied. Later, the Englishman finds his neck pained .

When the Englishman is taken back to his hotel by the men, he is informed that it is none other than his expectant host Count Dracula that has alerted the Maître d'hôtel of "dangers from snow and wolves and night" in a telegram during the time the Englishman was away.

This story belongs to the genre of Horror Fiction.
