About the Author

Born on May 7, 1849, in Chesters, Jedburgh, Scotland, Emily Gerard made significant contributions to Gothic literature. During her two years in Transylvania, she found inspiration in Austrian military life, the region's beauty, diverse races, and rich folk-lore. Best known for her article "Transylvanian Superstitions," Gerard influenced Bram Stoker's “Dracula.” Despite this, much of her work, including novels co-authored with her sister Dorothea Gerard (“ The Waters of Hercules” ) and the travelogue "The Land beyond the Forest," has faded from recognition.
