I remember reading somewhere- I think it was in an annotated addition of Dracula, or maybe it was a journal article- that said that Bram Stoker wrote a large number of novels but everything he wrote other than Dracula was awful. Per Wikipedia he wrote 14 books, supposedly he was only able to write one good one.

Not a novel, but the short story "Dracula's Guest" I thought was quite good. I was sad it was so short.

In addition to the Dracula's Guest short story, I actually liked quite a few of the other stories in the book Dracula's Guest.

By the way, for anyone who is thinking of reading Dracula's Guest, it is likely it was intended as a first chapter of Dracula, but was cut.
