It may be that Stoker's publisher requested that the book be shortened, or the publisher (or Stoker) may have felt that the "stylistic" aspects of the narrative were more important than its veracity. However, there are numerous references in the Manuscript to some version of the tale eventually published as "Dracula's Guest." Most likely, a different draft - one that identified the narrator as Harker - was included in. The style is completely different the narrator shares few characteristics with Jonathan Harker and the action somehow fails to connect the story set forth in. And so what may we make of ? Without the name "Dracula" appearing in the title and message, there would be very little to connect this traveler's tale with. ![]()
