This short story by Bram Stoker centres on the tale of three men who were hanged on a hill that would become known as Gibbet Hill. While strolling on the hill, the narrator witnesses and experiences bizarre magical events. This short story is accompanied in the book by the discovery of the story itself, a biography of Stoker, a text from his mother and several paintings. It’s a short story, but a nice discovery. Time to read Dracula!
