In a courtyard stands an ancient instrument of death—a medieval iron maiden—its cruel jaws long closed. But when an innocent act leads to tragedy, those jaws may not stay shut for long. Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula, spins a tale of horror not born from vampires… but from guilt, grief, and the merciless hunger of revenge. This is 'The Squaw' by Bram Stoker.
