Talk:Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories

Contradictory Link

footnote 3 is a link to a page by Dr Elizabeth Miller. While she is probably the leading scholarly authority on Stoker's Dracula, the link, when followed, contradicts the text it is appended to - the text says that the short story is probably the excised first chapter of the novel, and then cites Dr Miller's article which says the opposite - that the idea that the short story is the excised first chapter of the novel is a myth — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericcartmanfat (talk • contribs) 22:23, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Split

Most of this article (Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories) is about just one part (Dracula's Guest) of the book, being in itself a complete and proper article. -- Tomdo08 (talk) 15:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I'd agree with this. The short story is notable on it's own.★Trekker (talk) 22:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Story in other language editions of Dracula

This story is included in my Spanish translation of the Dracula novel and it is presented as the first chapter or a preface of sorts. I must say it does improve the whole experience as a prologue. Regardless, should a mention to that be included? I can provide further information if needed.148.202.85.194 (talk) 16:23, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Argued about authenticity?

The references section begins with "Stephen Hawking first argued about its authenticity" but it's not clear what exactly this refers to. Is this meant to refer to the story's status as an excised chapter from "Dracula" or something else? Perhaps somebody who has the reference could move it to an appropriate part of the Notes where the context is clearer.

Also, unless the world-famous astrophysicist is also a literary scholar, might be helpful to give some info on which Stephen Hawking is mentioned here. --114.77.41.5 (talk) 03:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
