Gibbet Hill

The lost tale of “Gibbet Hill” by Bram Stoker, the world-famous author of Dracula, was published for the first time in over 130 years and launched as part of the Bram Stoker festival in Dublin 2024. As well as the original text, the book features the extraordinary story of its discovery by Brian Cleary, a piece by Bram Stoker biographer Paul Murray, and prints of artist Paul McKinley’s paintings inspired by the story, this book is a unique memento of a remarkable piece of Irish literary history.

The cover of Gibbet Hill draws inspiration from Victorian book design as well as the original Dracula cover. It features intricate borders, creating a dark and Gothic atmosphere. Twisting vines and slithering snakes emphasise the story's eerie connection to nature, hinting at the hidden dangers within. The cover title and internal headings are set in the striking Stoker font, designed by Seán Mongey of Signal Foundry.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Rotunda Foundation’s Charlotte Stoker Fund for research on the prevention of acquired deafness in vulnerable newborn babies.
