Miss Betty is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, which was written just a year after the publication of Dracula. This novel helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horrors reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. "Of all the incidents of her early life, none had so great or lasting an effect on Betty Pole as those that evening in Cheyne Walk on which she had been accused of breaking the blue china jar." Following an innocent accident, Betty Pole is berated by her grandfather, who believes she has broken a priceless heirloom. On this day, Betty first learns of her strange ability to sense things before they happen, which proves both a gift and a curse in due time. That night, Betty learns the truth behind her identity and is named the heiress of her grandfather's fortune. The next morning, he is found dead. As Betty gets older, as England passes from one era into the next, she is forced to hide her ability from the suspicions and intentions of friends and strangers alike.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Bram Stoker's Miss Betty is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.
