New Bram Stoker short story

[olivermoss]

Has been found in an old newspaper archive. This article has the first part of the story, but not the whole thing. Due to it's age, it should be public domain. Hopefully, it's easily accessible as a download soon.

The newspaper article would be OOC 70 years after Stoker's death, which is why I mentioned downloading the image file, but there are currently two copyright holders in the UK, so I don't know how the book format will be treated. Apparently it will come out pretty soon!

I didn't have much to do this morning so I transcribed the story to read it more clearly. I'm not sure if I can post it somewhere since the public domain situation isn't clear though.

Wow, I'm impressed you could do it so quickly despite that tiny font, you rule!!

The newspaper article would be out of copyright 70 years after Stoker's death, so if you post your transcription with attribution (name of the paper, date, and a link to the NLI page where the digital image is publicly hosted), it should be fine!

I posted my transcript after the attribution (which I hope is okay) here. I hope it's useful for people wanting to read it as soon as possible!

Thank you for taking the time to do this and for sharing it! Would it be OK to share your post here on DW? I imagine lots of people will be interested, and everyone's eyesight will be spared thanks to you!

ETA: it's just up on Wikisource as well:

Sure! And oh, that's cool that it's also on Wikisource! But feel free to share my transcription if you want as well :D

Thank you again for all your work!

That is amazing! Thank you so much!

(Sorry for the slow reply, I recently got back to town and am swamped)
