Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories is a collection of short stories by Bram Stoker, first published in 1914 in London, two years after Stoker's death, at the behest of his widow Florence Balcombe. She wrote the preface to the collection in which she described the title story as an excised or deleted chapter from the novel Dracula. The remaining stories were previously published.

Meanwhile, collections published under longer titles contain different selections of stories. The first U.S. edition was published...
