Little does he know that the family also hides a terrible secret. Wounded and recovering in a Spanish hospital, our protagonist’s doctor recommends that he goes to stay with a noble family whose name has fallen into decline. Olalla, written in 1885, tells the tale of a nameless British soldier who falls in love with the strange and alluring creature that is Olalla. The books we produce here at Merchiston Publishing pay tribute to Scottish authors, with the aim of celebrating them and introducing their work to new and diverse readers. A new cover, specially commissioned illustrations, and glossary bring this important work to a wider, modern audience. Few know of Olalla, a vampire novella that precedes Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Olalla (pronounced Oh-lie-ah) is now available. Our postgrad Publishing students are proud to present a forgotten treasure by RL Stevenson!
